ABSTRACT

This article discusses the relationship between constitution and colonies in Spain. Since 1837, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines were expressly excluded from the formal constitutions of the metropolis. Differently to the type of constitutionalism from which they were expelled, the colonies, however, seemed to retain a real and material constitution, defined by geographers with geographic criteria, which ultimately served to uphold the whole political discourse concerning the particularities of nations overseas as well as to justify, in constitutional terms, their exclusion from the series of Spanish constitutions until the final collapse of their colonial regime in 1898.

摘要

本文讨论西班牙宪法与殖民地之间的关系。自 1837 年以来，古巴、波多黎各和菲律宾被明确排除在这座大都市的正式宪法之外。然而，与他们被驱逐的宪政类型不同，殖民地似乎保留了一种真实的、物质的宪法，由地理学家以地理标准定义，最终也有助于维护有关海外国家特殊性的整个政治话语。以便从宪法角度证明将他们排除在一系列西班牙宪法之外是合理的，直到 1898 年其殖民政权最终崩溃为止。
