Abstract

This article will study from a prosopographical point of view the differing ideas about representative government offered by the various political strands of mid-19th century Spain. With the progressive implementation of liberalism in Spain, the debate about the philosophy and mechanisms of political representation in the construction of the liberal state reached a critical point. Although there was only occasionally political and intellectual debate along the lines of that of France or Great Britain, it is possible to isolate the issues that concerned deputies by studying parliamentary debates on electoral legislation.
