The Cádiz Constitution and the Neapolitan Constitution of 1821

Abstract

The granting of the Cadiz Constitution to the kingdom of Two Sicilies in July 1820 started off a wide debate on its adaptation to the Neapolitan reality which should have been dealt with by the National Parliament. Pending the convocation of such as the representative assembly, the revolutionary press started to disseminate proposals, criticisms and suggestions which should embody an example and provide guidance for the newly elected members of Parliament.
