  • This article is based on the texts about the concept of "constitution" within the project "Iberconceptos". It presents a comparative study of this concept in nine countries of the Iberian Atlantic world between 1750 and 1850, and demonstrates the necessity of reconceptualizing the Iberian Atlantic as a common political laboratory. Second, it shows that the relevance of the concept of constitution resides in the fact that it functions as a recipient to where other ideas and concepts (such as "representation", "nation" or "sovereignty", among others) converge. In fact, the Iberian Atlantic was the most productive laboratory for the processes of state formation and nation making during the revolutionary era. We also suggest that from American independence onwards there were some constitutional questions that were treated similarily in the different emerging nations.
