Abstract

In the present work we analyze the process of election of the Spanish members of parliament in the Courts of Cádiz (1810-1813), the sociology of these members of parliament and their behavior in the Parliament. After carrying out the analysis in the first place we observe that there were four modalities of election of the representatives and never covered all the seats. In the second place, we detect that the representatives chosen by the different institutions that took part in the electoral process were in the main of well-off social condition and representative of the Spanish society, the group of ecclesiastical representatives, of laws and civil servants, standing out in number.
