Cults freedom, Religion, Tolerance, Nineteenth Century, Spanish constitutional historyAbstract
After some constitutional uncertainties, the 1869´ Spanish Constitution established the freedom of cults whose life, however, was very short and its application degree very light. This paper analyses the way by which the Spanish deputies conceived the cult’s freedom concept and its relationship with other related concepts such as consciousness freedom, tolerance or religion. This analysis is used to discuss the political and practical consequences of that concept.
