Book Description
Latin American Constitutions provides a comprehensive historical study of constitutionalism in Latin America from the independence period to the present, focusing on the Constitution of Cádiz, a foundational document in Latin American constitutionalism. Although drafted in Spain, it was applied in many regions of Latin America, and deputies from America formed a significant part of the drafting body. The politicization of constitutionalism reflected in Latin America's first moments proved to be a lasting legacy evident in the legal and constitutional world of the region today: many of Latin America's present challenges to establishing effective constitutionalism can be traced to the debates, ideas, structures, and assumptions of this text. This book explores the region's attempts to create effective constitutional texts and regimes in light of an established practice of linking constitutions to political goals and places important constitutional thinkers and regional constitutions, such as the Mexican Constitution of 1917, into their legal and historical context.

Book Description
The long revolutionary movements that gave birth to constitutional democracies in the Americas were founded on egalitarian constitutional ideals. They claimed that all men were created equal with similar capacities and also that the community should become self-governing. Following the first constitutional debates that took place in the region, these promising egalitarian claims, which gave legitimacy to the revolutions, soon fell out of favor. Advocates of a conservative order challenged both ideals and favored constitutions that established religion and created an exclusionary political structure. Liberals proposed constitutions that protected individual autonomy and rights but established severe restrictions on the principle of majority rule. Radicals favored an openly majoritarian constitutional organization that, according to many, directly threatened the protection of individual rights. This book examines the influence of these opposite views during the 'founding period' of constitutionalism in countries including the United States, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela.

Book Description
Spanish identity in the age of nations offers the first comprehensive account in any language of the formation and development of Spanish national identity from ancient times to the present. Much has been written on French, British and German nationalism, but remarkably little has been published on Spanish nationalism. Paradoxically, even in Spain there is much more on Basque, Catalan and other regional nationalisms than on Spanish identity. As a result, this study fills an enormous gap in the literature on Spanish history. This book traces the emergence and evolution of an initial collective identity within the Iberian Peninsula from the Middle Ages to the end of the ancien regime based on the Catholic religion, loyalty to the Crown and Empire. The adaptation of this identity to the modern era, beginning with the Napoleonic Wars and the liberal revolutions, forms the crux of this study. None the less, the book also embraces the highly contested evolution of the national identity in the twentieth century, including both the Civil War and the Franco Dictatorship. Álvarez-Junco ́s pioneering study was awarded both the National Prize for Literature in Spain and the Fastenrath Prize by the Spanish Royal Academy

Book Description
Este libro del profesor Allan R. Brewer-Carias, recoge el conjunto de ensayos que elaboro durante los ultimos diez anos con motivo de su participacion en diversos eventos academicos conmemorativos de la Constitucion de Cadiz de 1812, que fue la primera Constitucion europea, despues de la Constitucion francesa de 1791, en haber adoptado los principios del constitucionalismo moderno, y que si bien tuvo influencia en el constitucionalismo espanol y del mundo hispanoamericano, particularmente despues de su segundo termino de vigencia a partir de 1820, la misma puede decirse que no tuvo influencia en los origenes del constitucionalismo hispanoamericano, que comenzo a gestarse cuando las Cortes espanolas todavia estaban sesionando. En las Colonias espanolas americanas, en efecto, en paralelo al proceso constituyente en la Peninsula, desde 1810 se comenzaron a producir las primeras manifestaciones de los mismos principios en el constitucionalismo en lo que puede calificarse como el constitucionalismo hispanoamericano pre-gaditano; que se concretaron en la Provincia de Caracas a partir del 19 de abril de 1810, con la eleccion de un Congreso General de diputados de las Provincias de la antigua Capitania General de Venezuela, y la sancion, por dicho Congreso, de la Declaracion de Derechos del Pueblo de 1 de julio de 1811, de la Constitucion Federal de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela de 21 de diciembre de 1811, y de Constituciones Provinciales en las mismas antiguas provincias de la Capitania General de Venezuela: Barinas (1811), Merida (1811), Trujillo (811), Barcelona (1812) y Caracas (1812); asi en las antiguas provincias del Virreinato de Nueva Granada, con la adopcion del Acta de la Federacion de 27 de noviembre de 1811 que formo el Estado "Provincias Unidas de la Nueva Granada;" y la sancion de las Constituciones provinciales de los Estados de Socorro (1810), Cundinamarca (1811), de Tunja (1811), Antioquia (1812) y Cartagena de Indias (1812). Este conjunto de riquisimos textos constitucionales de 1811 y de comienzos de 1812, cuyos principios, vicisitudes e importancia analiza el autor en este libro, son los que permiten apreciar lo ilustrada que fue la elite profesional y politica que asumio la conduccion del proceso constituyente en esos primeros anos del nacimiento de las Republicas hispanoamericanas, ajustados a los principios del constitucionalismo moderno, constituyendo un esfuerzo que lamentablemente se vio truncado tanto por la incomprension de las autoridades espanolas del momento, incluidas las mismas Cortes de Cadiz, como por las secuelas del militarismo que derivo de las guerras de independencia.
