De Gruyter has published a new book on the Spanish constitution of 1812 and the Kurhessen Constitution of 1831.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The 1812 Spanish Constitution represents the foundation stone of Spain’s modern constitutional history and constitutes a crucial chapter in the Europe-wide conflict between absolutism and constitutionalism. Like the Kurhessen Constitution of 1831, it was considered in its day Europe’s most liberal, progressive, and radical constitution. This study takes a comparative approach to both constitutions.
