Abstract

This paper will focus on the right of association as it has been regulated in the Spanish legal system. Our study will span the history of this fundamental right since it was first included in a Constitution in 1869 up to the legal system in force before the current, post-1978 Constitution legislation. We will analyze how its legal status has evolved, studying in particular the requeriments established for the exercise of this right and the reasons behind changes in legislation. Our research closes with an assessment of the evolution of the right of association and its legal treatment.
