Catalan constitutions

The Catalan constitutions (Constitucions catalanes, kunstitusiˈons kətəˈlanəs) were the laws of the Principality of Catalonia promulgated by the Count of Barcelona and approved by the Catalan Courts. The Corts in Catalan have the same origin as courts in English (the sovereign's councillors or retinue) but instead meaning the legislature. The first constitutions were promulgated by the Corts of 1283. The last ones were promulgated by the Corts of 1705. They had pre-eminence over the other legal rules and could only be revoked by the Catalan Courts themselves. The compilations of the constitutions and other rights of Catalonia followed the Roman tradition of the Codex. The first compilation was prescribed by Ferdinand I of Aragon, and suggestion by the Corts of Barcelona from 1413. It spread in edition of the 1495, together with the Usages of Barcelona: Usatges de Barcelona, Constitutions, Capitols, y Actes de Cort, y leys de Cathalunya ("Usages of Barcelona, constitutions, chapters and acts of court and other laws of Catalonia") The compilations agreed in the Corts of 1585 and of 1702 were published in three volumes: Constitutions y altres drets de Cathalunya ("Constitutions and other rights of Catalonia") Pragmaticas y altres drets de Cathalunya ("Pragmatics and other rights of Catalonia" Constitutions y altres drets de Cathalunya superfluos, contraris y corregits ("Constitutions and other rights of Catalonia, superfluous, contrary, and corrected") Shortly after the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, Philip V of Spain issued the set of decrees known in Spanish as the Decretos de Nueva Planta and in Catalan as the Decrets de Nova Planta. This series of decrees abolished the separate laws of the territories that supported his rival to the throne, the Archduke Charles of Austria; this included all territories of the Crown of Aragon. The Decretos attempted to make Spain into a centralized state on the model of France, applying the laws of Castile to all of Spain.
