Aragonese Constitution
The Aragonese Constitution refers to a set of laws and regulations established in the Kingdom of Aragon during the late Middle Ages. It was a significant legal document that outlined the rights and responsibilities of the nobility and the monarchy, emphasizing the importance of local governance and the autonomy of the region. This constitution played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of Aragon and influenced later constitutional developments in Spain.
The constitution is often associated with the Cortes of Aragon, which were the legislative assemblies that represented various social classes, including the nobility and clergy. These assemblies were instrumental in the creation and approval of the constitution, reflecting the region's commitment to a system of governance that balanced power between the monarchy and its subjects.
