La gran trilogía clásica de lo estatal hispánico: religión, derecho y política constitucional. El caso español y datos comparados

Abstract

The Catholic Iberian Monarchy of Spain, arises as an authentic, classic form of what is state, which sought its reason to exist in the common good and in justice under the Romanized formulas that alluded to "the Republic of our Kingdoms" and "of these Kingdoms". It was a model for other nearby monarchies, that was understood as a corporation, as a universitas, which sought the objectification and centralisation of power, the rationalisation of means and a valid, territorial legal founding for all the subjects of those kingdoms. That it was not the same as or similar to the exogenous forms, those of the Periphery, which would be conceived later in Europe, does not mean that a genuine Spanish state did not exist, with its own intellectual premises, origins, vicissitudes, realizations and validity, in the same way that there was an exclusively Spanish theory of state, both of which (state and theory) being based on that great trilogy that was previously Roman: religion, law and politics.
