Second Spanish Republic, ceremonial and protocol.

Abstract

The proclamation of the Second Republic will bring an intensive legislative work intended to legitimate the establishment of the republic as both the regime of the state and a direct means to break free from monarchy. Such work will cover, among others, the ceremonial, the protocol, the Premial Law and the state symbols. All these instruments are used by the Republic’s institutions to convey their power and publicly portray the republic as a state.

The historical collections of the Spanish Official State Gazette and the regulations contained therein are the key tools to approach the legislative changes brought about by the Second Spanish Republic.
