RAMOS ROVI, Mª José  and  SANCHIS VIDAL, Amelia. Implications of the War of Independence and ''Gaditanas'' Courts in future Colombia. Opin. jurid. [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.22, pp.179-198. ISSN 1692-2530.

Discourses of session journals show the interest of ''doceañistas'' congressmen through Latin America. American and peninsular representatives had a debate based on the constitutional norms about oversea matters. There is a clear concern expressed by ''Gaditanos'' congressmen: ''to know America to rule America.'' Maybe it was already a little bit late since colonies were splitting; civil wars had started between followers of the Spanish Crown and supporters of the independence movement.

Keywords : Colombia; 1812 Constitution; Cadiz courts; congressmen; independences.
