Abstract
The crisis of the Hispanic Monarchy by the beginning of the nineteenth century brought about a couple of unique political experiences than make of it one of the most interesting laboratories for the study of concepts related to the birth of modern nations and states. On the one hand, for the first and for the last time in the history of modern constitutionalism and parliamentary politics representatives of three continents met in a single assembly, and a constitution (1812) intended to transform into Spanish Nation all the territories and peoples from Barcelona to Manila. On the other hand, and as a result of that process, a number of new re publics —among them Spain itself— were proclaimed to be sovereign while a number of peoples and cultures —the majority of them not Spanish— had to deal with those new sovereigns that substituted the Rex Hispaniarum.
