| Summary: | The 1808 political crisis in Spain, brought about by the napoleonic invasion and the “kidnapping” of the king, spurred an important change in the structuring of power, which passed on from town and city councils to local and provincial Juntas. The coordination for war entailed the creation of a Junta Central, which later on gave place to a Consejo de Regencia, which in turn paved the road to the Convocatoria de Cortes. This whole process allows a new and more representative political regime to be born: the liberal, as apposed to the absolutism of the Ancien Régime. |
