El reconocimiento constitucional de los derechos de la persona y sus puntos ciegos en la Constitución de Cádizreflexiones a partir de los conceptos de Nación, nacional y ciudadano

Resum

The present study focuses on the recognition of the rights of the person in the Constitution of Cadiz of 1812, starting from three key concepts in the first constitutional liberalism: �Nation�, �national� and �citizen�. On these basis is intended to identify the existence of a �blind spots� in the universal recognition of the rights of the person, not only political, but also of those rights (tendentially) declared as �inherent� in the person and which can be seen as the germ of current human rights. The overcoming of these �blind spots� had been one of the most remarkable progress of constitutionalism; however, as presented at conclusions, in the twenty-first century new �exclusions� appears and new theories are proclaimed coming to deny people rights essential to the human condition. It is, therefore, a reading of the past that is intended to help understand the achievements made and the risks of regression that hang over the modern constitutionalism.
