The magistracy is a charge executed by numerous magistrates; A magistrate is considered to be the civil servant who exercises and performs different tasks within the administrative or judicial area within a nation, he has the responsibility to judge and ensure that what has already been judged is executed, according to this a main characteristic of this civil servant is impartiality and independence, that is to say, he cannot make decisions suggested by direct ties to people involved in a case, nor should he be influenced by different powers that govern it. This position was created from the ancient Roman era, when different individuals were sought to serve the crown to administer the different cities that it governed.
There was a lot of responsibility on their backs, for that time they were executing legislative and judicial functions; Later, with the passing of time, responsibilities were divided, creating consuls, tribunes and aediles. As the years passed the Roman Emperor was acquiring almost complete responsibility for his entire nation, this caused the magistrates to be downgraded in the governmental area. The first magistracy that existed naturally was the Roman Magistracy, specifically in this type of government there were two magistracies: extraordinary in which the triumvirate or dictatorship is positioned; on the other hand there were the ordinary ones that are subdivided into: major (pretura, censorship, consulate) and minor (edibility, cuestrura).
Within this empire the roles of the magistrates were established in terms of the powers they had under their chargeas they are: his intervention in different judicial matters, rank to give orders to the royal guard and his capacity to represent the Republic in cases of altercations with other nations. At present these functions are very varied, firstly the magistrate belongs to the supreme court of justice of each country and his main task is to serve as judge of the nation. Examples of magistracies that can be mentioned are in Spain and Argentina, known as the Professional Association of the Magistracy and the council of the magistracy respectively; In both nations the objective is the same: to defend and protect the rights of all citizens, with greater emphasis on those who hold judicial office.
