La cuestión foral en relación con Navarra en la opinión publicada anterior e inmediatamente posterior a la ley de 25 de octubre de 1839

Abstract

This article is a review of the published opinion on the Navarrese «foral» law question between 1835 and 1843 based on an exhaustive study of archive’s documentation, brochures and newspaper articles. The starting point is the presumption that, considering the peculiarities warned in an earlier article about the characteristics of O’Donnell’s revolt of October 1841, and on the possible extension of an integrationist sensitivity related to those, the Basque issue could have been more evident than commonly have been said so far because Sagaseta de Ilúrdoz’s thesis for the defence of the Navarrese own constitutional positions is also present, in some way, as a possibility to refuse, not only in Yanguas’s point of view about the law of 1841 but also in the speeches by some speakers in the debate in Courts.
