Abstract

The Napoleonic Constitution, being in force since July 1808, was meaning  theoretically the disappearance of the Basque Law and Institutions. First steps of the rule of Joseph I excluded neither Law nor the Government Institutions.  But in February 1810 the situation takes another turn.  Two Governments, the one of Navarre and another of Biscay, each one having a General Governor under direct authority of Napoleon are constituted. With a relative rapidity, a political administrative system, new as a whole, was set up, being in force until 1813.
