History

Liberals and Liberty in 1812 Spain and Beyond

ABSTRACT

This conference explored Spanish liberalism. Much of the conference focused on Spain's 1812 Constitution—said to be the most liberal in Europe at the time of its framing—but we also explored aspects of pre-1812 liberal thought in Spain as well as works by two twentieth century Spanish liberals.
