Abstract

The first two Spanish Constitutions (1812 and 1837) had to face the matter of religion as a political and social fact. During their drawing up, deputies had to decide how the new legislation of that polemical topic would be. Restrictions on religious liberty often crashed with words defending liberties in other aspects. One more time, the necessity of public order demanded the limitations of liberties related to faith.
