Law2.48 KB

Liability of Public Officials

1. Prerequisites for the Position

A preventive control mechanism for rotating administration officials and judges was the selection of who should administer justice.

These people were chosen from the noble and rich, with experience in times of war and conquest, of good character, raised in the Calmecac, prudent and wise, and also the servants at the palace.

A good senator is a righteous judge who hears both sides, weighs the cause of each, gives to each what belongs, and does justice always right. They are not swayed by people and do justice without passion. Thus, we can see that codes of ethics were very real.

Spain's 1931 Constitution: Pillars of the Second Republic

Law2.92 KB

Sovereignty and Suffrage

Article 1 of the Constitution of the Second Spanish Republic proclaimed that "Spain is a republic of justice." This foundational statement affirmed popular sovereignty, which included the right to vote for all Spaniards aged 18. This was a significant step beyond the universal male suffrage that had been achieved by 19th-century liberalism.

The Constitution also declared "the republic is an integral state," initially designing a decentralized structure. This allowed one or more neighboring provinces with "economic and cultural features and their own historical identity" to form autonomous communities. Catalonia and the Basque Country were the first to initiate this process, in accordance with the Constitution, leading...
