Celebrating the bicentenary of Portuguese constitutionalism (1822), this article aims to contribute to the study of the genealogy of the notion and concept of “constitution” in this country, which has its origins in the pre-constitutionalism period, long before the Liberal Revolution of 1820. As a matter of fact, the modern concept of constitution established by the liberal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries had its own constitutional ancestors, which are not always notorious or of easy understanding. Generally, the most known and studied of them all is still the concept of “fundamental laws”, which is commonly known today as a synonym of constitution. From 1772 onwards, a new concept came about in Portugal, one of “civil constitution”. Therefore, without neglecting the comparison with what happened in other constitutional latitudes, in order to understand the formation process of the concept of “constitution” in Portugal, we’ve focused our research mainly around the notions of “fundamental laws” and “civil constitution”, which are the closer etymological predecessors to the modern Portuguese concept of constitution, formed as of 1820/22.

En realidad, el concepto moderno instituido desde las revoluciones liberales de los siglos xviii-xix tuvo sus antepasados constitucionales, que no siempre son notorios y de fácil comprensión. En general, el más conocido y estudiado de todos ellos sigue siendo el de las llamadas «leyes fundamentales», concepto que aún hoy es vulgarmente usado como sinónimo de constitución. A partir de 1772, en Portugal, surgió un nuevo concepto, el de «constitución civil». Por lo tanto, sin dejar de lado la comparación con lo ocurrido en otras latitudes constitucionales, para entender el proceso de formación del concepto de «constitución» en Portugal, centramos nuestra investigación especialmente en torno a las nociones de «leyes fundamentales» y de «constitución civil», que son el fondo etimológico más cercano del moderno concepto portugués de constitución, formado a partir de 1820-1822.2021text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7890580(Revista) ISSN 0211-5743Revista española de derecho constitucional, ISSN 0211-5743, Año nº 41, Nº 121, 2021, pags. 73-102engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
