La terra davant del monarca. Una contribució per a una tipología de l'assemblea estamental catalana

Abstract

Several topics concerning the elements that become essential for the constitution of the cort general de Catalunya (i. e., the Catalan representative assembly) are discussed in order to contribute to the debate about its typology. Meetings of this assembly, which in some aspects becomes or acts as a limit or control upon the monarch's policies, have to fulfill some requirements for being able to be called properly a cort general, formally based in the dispensing of justice (as noted in the paper).
