Codification in Spain during the década moderada (moderate decade) and the bienio progresista (progressive biennium)

Abstract

The Spanish codification has been approached always by partial character grouping each of the big thematic areas of the Law, and analyzing the peculiarities of the codification in each of these areas. But there does not exist an institutional history of the different Commissions of Codes, before the General Commission of Codification, linked in major or minor measure to the Department of Justice. This work, which is a continuation of other two previous ones, tries to reconstruct the codification to institutional level as for organs of the Department, across his functioning and of the persons who took part in the same ones in order to be able to elaborate theories ideologically it brings over of his actions and capture of decisions, centring on two periods of the Elizabetahn reign in Spain: the «Decada Moderada» and «Bienio progresista» (the progressiv period of two years).
