Description
Summary:This article highlights the role of parliaments in the process of state and nation building in the Hispanic world during the early-nineteenth century. It approaches the convening and institutionalization of parliaments from a transnational perspective. By especially considering the cases of Spain and New Granada/Colombia in the 1810s and 1820s, the article seeks to demonstrate how institution-building accelerated the transformation of the notion of sovereignty in a transnational space that transcended and joined regions, nations, and empires.
