Abstract

From Verfassung to Constitución: the Editions of the Weimar Constitution in Spain Between the Wars

The objective of this paper is to offer an image of the various translations of the constitution of the German republic of 1919 in Spain between the two world wars. The lexical changes and the different editorial formats of the three editions allow us to understand and contextualize the complex reception in the Spanish context of a foundational text of the contemporary constitutional and democratic state, a mandatory starting point for reflection on European public law of the century XX.
