Abstract

The liberals who came to power in 1820 wanted to put into operation the administrative system envisaged by the Cortes of Cadiz a few years earlier, but this attempt was frustrated by the lack of foresight and means and by the royalist counterrevolution. Second restoration of 1823 purified this administration and tried to go back to the past, but that setback was not possible either.
