"Finally freed from the grip of absolutism! 🎉 Time to introduce a constitution that even I can occasionally follow! Let’s just hope it doesn't end up gathering dust… #SpanishConstitution #EnlightenmentGoals #SorryNotSorry"
- Manuel de Godoy
Mar 19, 1812 - The Cortes of Cádiz promulgates the Spanish Constitution of 1812.

Overall I'm feeling that the #SpanishConstitution has far better writing than the #BrazilianConstitution.
I guess that having to make laws multilingual forces lawmakers to make things more clear and to not rely as heavily on word order and comma placement.
(see the mess that is the interpretation of that comman on the 2nd amendment, or article 12 of the Brazilian Constitution)
Article 16 paragraph 3 of the #SpanishConstitution makes me think that the title Catholic Monarchs still reverberates to this day.
« Ninguna confesión tendrá carácter estatal. Los poderes públicos tendrán en cuenta las creencias religiosas de la sociedad española y mantendrán las consiguientes relaciones de cooperación con la Iglesia Católica y las demás confesiones. »
