Abstract

The granting of pardons has been a practice traditionally associated with the monarchy. In the contemporary era, in Spain, all nineteenth century constitucional texts established it. The reasons for granting this privilege are varied: from general policy issues, through criminal policy reasons, as a penitentiary benefit or as a corrective of the judging function. This article tries to analyze, according to the data provided by the Gaceta de Madrid (BOE), the particular pardons granted by Alfonso XIII, during Military Directory of Primo de Rivera (little more than two years), period in wich the Constitution of 1876 was suspended.
