Neville, Henry
2021
A descendant of a noble English family, Henry Neville (1620–1694) was an influential political figure and a prominent intellectual in the tumultuous phase from the execution of Charles I in 1649 to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, that is to say, the period when England went through the crucial stages of the civil war by ending royal absolutism, followed by the republican interlude and the Restoration, and the laying of the foundations of European constitutionalism.

Disputas políticas en un territorio de frontera. La incorporación de la Provincia Oriental a la monarquía bragantina
2021
El presente trabajo se centra en analizar los años de 1820-1823 en la ciudad de Montevideo. La capital de la Provincia Oriental fue ocupada en 1817 por las tropas portuguesas y en 1821 formalizó —mediante un Congreso Extraordinario— la incorporación del territorio a la monarquía portuguesa de los Braganza. Es por ello que, cuando triunfó la segunda revolución liberal en España en 1820 y la primera portuguesa, en el mes de agosto de ese mismo año, la provincia, convertida en la Cisplatina, se adhirió al movimiento constitucional portugués. A lo largo de estas páginas veremos cómo fue el proceso de incorporación del territorio a la monarquía bragantina, y cómo se vivió en Montevideo la disput…
Independencia o Constitución: América en el Trienio Liberal
2020
El Trienio Liberal fue la segunda oportunidad para establecer una monarquía constitucional en España y en los territorios americanos. Los diputados de América que participaron en los debates parlamentarios plantearon, una vez más, las propuestas de autogobierno y autonomía que el sistema constitucional les permitía. En este sentido, pusieron sus esperanzas en la Constitución de 1812 que, si bien era inclusiva, su rigidez impedía la modificación de la estructura jurídica y territorial del imperio. En este trabajo, pretendemos acercarnos a las propuestas y debates políticos que sobre la posible modificación de la Constitución se tuvieron en las Cortes del Trienio Liberal (1820-1823) para comp…
‘The Iraq War Momentum’ in the Struggle on the Powers of the US Congress
2019
How parliaments and legislatures participate in war-making has raised interest among researchers from different disciplines, including constitutional law and political science. While war powers are usually considered to be included in the field of the executive branch, parliaments have played an increasingly relevant role as more democratic decision-making in both normal and exceptional times has gained prominence. The comparative aspect to examine war powers between parliaments or between the branches of government is often adopted to describe the authority and legitimacy of these powers. The US Congress is considered to have strong war powers on paper compared to parliaments in other libe…

Taking Human Dignity More Humanely
2016
The chapter argues that Kantian autonomy has sometimes been misunderstood, as if Kant would have viewed any choice as lawful, whatever its content might be. It should be noted that Kant followed earlier thinkers who had already found human rights (or natural rights) in the ‘dignity of human nature’. Thus Kant was not the first thinker to connect human rights with dignity, and the latter with human nature. The link between human rights, human nature and the expression ‘dignity’ appeared in the eighteenth century, but earlier than Kant.
L'identità costituzionale nel diritto dell'Unione europea: un nuovo concetto giuridico?
2012
Il concetto di identità costituzionale, nato nella giurisprudenza della Corte costituzionale federale tedesca e poi ripreso da altre corti costituzionali, ha svolto negli ordinamenti degli stati membri dell'Unione europea un ruolo di difesa dello stato costituzionale di diritto da pretesi pericoli posti dalla un'incondizionata apertura al processo di integrazione europea. Tale ruolo si esprime in tre distinte funzioni giuridiche: a) quella di limite al primato del diritto dell'Unione; b) quella di limite al trasferimento di competenze all'Unione; c) quella di fondamento del controllo sul rispetto del principio delle competenze di attribuzione. Una volta migrato dal piano nazionale a quello …
