À propos de l’influence des constitutions françaises depuis 1789 sur les premières constitutions écrites de la monarchie espagnole. L’exemple de l’ordonnancement territorial dans la Constitution de Bayonne (1808)

Abstract

The 1808 Bayonne Constitution is more important than historiography has considered it to be for many years as it is of vital importance to be able to understand Spain’s constitutional history. It is an ambivalent constitutional model, both politically and legally, open to two possible valid interpretations from the French and Spanish points of view. These lead to various internal contradictions which are especially noticeable with respect to territorial organization.
