Abstract
During the Constitutional Triennium (1820-1823) various constitutional
projects (both radicals and moderate) were written to show a political
alternative to the Cadiz Constitution. An essential part of the projects was
the design of a Parliament different from that included in the 1812 Constitution.
Radical projects chose to increase the parliamentary powers, aiming at a government d’assemblée influenced by French revolutionary political
thought. As for the moderate thinkers, they mainly chose a Parliament which
should be a key part to imitate the “English balanced constitution”. And that
required both decrease its powers and divide it into two chambers.
