Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few developments in the history of the Spanish colonial system in Mexico have been more carelessly treated or more often misinterpreted than the attempt to establish constitutional government in New Spain under the Spanish monarchy during the 1809–1814 and 1820–1822 periods. Yet the broad outlines of the Mexican constitutional system were laid then, largely through the insistent efforts of the Mexican deputies to the Cortes, the Spanish legislative body. Some of the delegates also grasped this opportunity to inform their countrymen and train them in the effectiveness of parliamentary debate and resolution as a more intelligent road to democratic and representative government. The 70 Mexican deputies (of the 160 elected) who actively participated in the sessions of the Cortes either helped draw up the Constitution of 1812, which initiated provisions for many needed reforms relating to military, religious, economic, educational, judicial, and governmental affairs in Mexico, or contributed to the enabling acts consequent to these provisions. The prime reason for calling the Cortes, however, and especially for inviting the participation of the Mexicans, was to attempt to maintain New Spain’s loyalty to the mother country, an unrealized objective in the long run, although much constructive discussion of this goal was offered by the Mexican delegates. These eight essays trace the establishment and implementation of the Mexican electoral system, both national and municipal, and of reforms in the economic, journalistic, religious, and military systems. They serve as an informative introduction to the revolutionary role the Cortes of Spain played in Mexican history and as a record of the contribution of Mexican delegates to the beginning of liberal reform in their country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Constitución Federal española de 1873 fue un proyecto de constitución para la Primera República Española, redactado principalmente por Emilio Castelar, que no llegó a ser aprobado por las Cortes. Pretendía la transformación de España en una federación. Estaba muy influida por la Constitución de los Estados Unidos en los términos (Estados federados, Constituciones estatales, Tribunal Supremo federal...) y en la organización de las instituciones (Senado electo por los parlamentos de los Estados y con igual representación independientemente del tamaño y población; elección del presidente de la República mediante un colegio electoral; Tribunal Supremo federal que se ocupa del control de la constitucionalidad de las leyes y dirime los conflictos entre los Estados y el poder federal; prevalencia del derecho federal sobre el de los Estados) y el reparto de las competencias entre la Federación y los Estados. Estuvo, además, influida por la Constitución española de 1869. De ella tomó la declaración de derechos, con dos diferencias clave: la separación entre la Iglesia y el Estado, que supondría el reconocimiento de la libertad de cultos, y la abolición de los títulos de nobleza.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relevance of lawyers and jurists in the process of state-building in nineteenth-century Latin America has been widely acknowledged. This collection of essays assembles a series of studies dealing with the interaction between the legal world and the wider political, economic, social and cultural processes in which the transition from colonial status to independent nationhood took place. Rather than viewing this transition as a radical transformation of judicial institutions and practices, emphasis has been put upon the continuities between those two phases. The chapters range from general overviews of both colonial and republican Spanish America to more detailed case studies of Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. contributors include: Linda Arnold, Virginia Tech; Osvaldo Barreneche, Universidad Nacional de la Plata, Argentina; Charles R. Cutter, Purdue University; Thomas H. Holloway, Cornell University; Victor M. Uribe, Florida International University.
