• Resumen

  • This essay briefly analyzes the institutional and legal history of the County of Venassin since its refounding as papal state in the thirteenth century to its dissolution during the revolutionary French eighteenth century. During this long period the Estates were organized as a fundamental political corporation impossible to avoid in capital matters such as legal pactism, taxation and political action; having a set of elects and auditors playing an executive role comparable to other realities in which the rule of law and political dualism hardly could be submitted by absolutist processes.
