Summary: During the process approving the Cádiz constitution, the Bourbon Nueva Planta was, for the first time, revoked in a legal manner with regard to Catalonia. The Catalan deputies preferred the installing of a moderate monarchy, as a form of government based on the separation of powers and a nation state based on national sovereignty. Of course, they differed in the precise form of this organization. As was underlined by the 1812 Constitution, Antonio de Capmany and José Espiga advocated for a politically centralized and culturally uniform state. On the contrary, Aner favoured recognizing the particularities of the provinces or kingdoms that made up the extensive and heterogeneous Hispanic Monarchy. Finally, it should be pointed out that federalism, republicanism and democracy were considered political anathemas.
