Abstract

The current model of the State of Autonomous Communities has drawn a territorial map in which some of the Autonomous Regions included have, on occasion, had their historical foundation questioned. This article will address the case of Cantabria through the study of important precedents, which will demonstrate that its constitution as an Autonomous Region in 1981 was not a mere political invention, but rather recovered the validity of an autonomist movement that had developed considerably due to the extensive experience gained through the reorganization of the territorial structure of the State, such as the one carried out in the Second Republic under the Constitution of 1931.
