The Constitution of Cádiz is promulgated with Canarian representation in the Cortes.

The Constitution of Cádiz was promulgated on 19 March 1812 and opened the era of Spanish constitutionalism by proclaiming national sovereignty and reorganising state powers. Four deputies elected for the Canary Islands took their seats in those Cortes: Santiago Key y Muñoz, Fernando Llerena y Franchy, Antonio José Ruiz de Padrón and Pedro José Gordillo y Ramos. This wording avoids assigning undocumented island-specific effects to the text.
