History of Constitutionalism in Spain (2000–2015): Controversies over a Bicentenary

Summary/Abstract: History of Constitutionalism can show us how Constitutional law has “constituted” political realities all along history and Constitutional historians are among those who have the capacity to create more than one “constitutional history” that serves to build up very different traditions and narrations on the origins of constituent elements. The Spanish constitutional history of last years is an exceptional laboratory to study all these processes and their implications that reach their peak when dealing with the “Cadiz constitutional experiment”. As a matter of fact, the readings that the different historiographical currents did on this constitutionalism apropos its Bicentennial clearly reveal the difficulties and challenges of the recent constituent history of a country undergoing continuous constitutional revision and renewal.
