El control parlamentario de los tratados en los albores del constitucionalismo moderno

Abstract

This article exposes the reluctance of some theorists of modern democracy to subject the external action of the State to democratic control. The first modern constitutional texts that incorporated parliamentary control of international treaties are analyzed: The Constitution of the United States of America of 1787, the French constitutions after the revolution of 1789 and the Constitution of Cadiz of 1812, in order to identify particulars and models, which have later been replicated in much of the current democratic constitutions.
