Abstract

Flórez Estrada developed an intensive activity through the press. Indeed, an important part of his political thought can be only known reading the articles he published in the political press. In this article I will study not only the political newspapers edited by Florez Estrada (“El Tribuno del pueblo español” and “El Español Constitucional”) but also other journals, edited by liberals, which included Flórez Estrada’s writings. Through these newspapers, it will be analyzed the political thought of Flórez Estrada, and mainly his ideas about the Spanish Cortes, the Popular sovereignty, the Monarchy and the Liberty of Press.
