constitution Arrogant Victor there have been several constitutions that have governed the destinies of the Spanish people and their constituent processes have been disparate. Some processes were initiated due to the harassment of the people, others due to the will of their representatives and on other occasions by the kings and governments in power to consolidate their power. constitutions that I want to reflect on today. We will focus on those of 1931 and 1978 in future articles. With these brief notes, I intend to approach a significant part of our political and constitutional history, whose essential documents are preserved in the Archive of the Congress of Deputies. Troubled times were in Spain in 1812. History is putting things in their place and now it seems that the Constitution of Cádiz is not as liberal as it seemed to be. The text established that sovereignty resided in the nation; The monarchy was maintained as a system of government; an electoral system of representation was adopted; and the Catholic religion was consecrated as the official religion of the State.
In any case, King Ferdinand VII took it upon himself to destroy everything. Many myths weigh on La Pepa. The king was captive, and in his name, the Political Constitution sanctioned the Regency of the Kingdom appointed by the Cortes. The idea of writing a constitution was not the result of pressure from the bourgeoisie, much less from the common people, but from the power vacuum left by the monarch. After months of Australia Phone Number debate, the Cortes of Cádiz in 1812 promulgated the first Constitution of the Spanish monarchy. The first "liberal" constitution of the monarchy, until then absolute. Its text defined the nation as the gathering of all Spaniards from both hemispheres and as Spaniards all free men born and residing in the dominions of Spain and their children. Article declared that "the Spanish Nation is a moderate and hereditary Monarchy." The power to make laws resided in the Cortes with the King, and he was granted the power to have them executed (king, legislator, head of state and president of governmen.
It also said that the "person of the King is sacred and inviolable" and that he was not subject to responsibility. The Constitution declared that the religion of the Spanish Nation "is and will perpetually be the Catholic, apostolic, Roman, and only true religion." Nothing helped Ferdinand VII. It was a "democratic" Constitution, which affirmed the sovereignty of the nation and the right to vote. But not everyone had the same rights when it came to voting. The following were left out of the electoral system: domestic servants and in the territories of America, servants and blacks. The Constitution of 1812 was short-lived. Ferdinand VII repealed it upon his return to Spain in 1814, implementing the strictest absolutism for six years. The validity of the Constitution of Cádiz ended, but not its influence, which gravitated over national politics until 1868 and the rest of the liberal cycle.
