Paradigmas para explicar la articulación constitucional de los territorios españoles de Ultramar en el Siglo XIX

This paper aims at providing an overview of the treatment received by the overseas territories in the Spanish constitutionalism of the 19th Century. It highlights the similarity of the constitutional treatment received by these territories in the contexts of Bayonne and Cadiz, through what we have denominated ““inclusive territorial paradigm” in order to explain later how, from our point of view, there is a paradigm shift in the Constitutional Convention of 1836-1837, until the complete articulation of the so called “excluding territorial paradigm” in the Constitution of 1837, model in force in Spain until 1898.
