The present work deals with the constitutional treatment, in 1931, of religious freedom and the relations between the State and the churches or confessions. A treatment, as is well known, presided over by articles 3, 26 and 27 of the Republican Constitution, implemented later, throughout the first biennium, social or reformist, through different laws and decrees of enormous juridical-political repercussion. The governing majority little imagined that, far from tackling the religious question that had been dragging on in Spain since the 19th century, this treatment would become the most powerful factor against the constitutional text. Be that as it may, it is interesting to understand, without retrospective bias, the ideas, principles and even circumstances that explain this original political-legislative action.
