description In this article, it is analyzed from the political history of education, the importance and influence that the Constitution of 1812 has had in education. This is one of the most important and transcendent legal documents in the history of Spain, at political, legislative, and social levels. Indeed, the Constitution of 1812 will go down in history as the first that devoted an entire section of its articles to education, with essential elements of renovation that will influence greatly the educational future of our country. These new elements are focused on the defense of universality of primary education for the entire population, without exceptions, and on uniformity of the curricula throughout the State. It must be remembered that in the XIX century, Spanish liberalism had a major obstacle for establishing a political system based on the sovereignty of the nation, equal rights, freedom, and the inclusion of citizens in political life: ignorant people, endemic illiteracy of Spain at that historical period. Therefore, and as it did before the Enlightenment, liberals sought to respond to this situation by promoting education and scientific knowledge as a basis for a new, modern nation. Thus, from primary sources and supported by educational legislation, it is concluded that the Spanish Liberals made a clear statement of intent by placing education not only as an important factor of progress but also as a basis for the new political regime that was being designed.

Thus, from primary sources and supported by educational legislation, it is concluded that the Spanish Liberals made a clear statement of intent by placing education not only as an important factor of progress but also as a basis for the new political regime that was being designed.      En el presente artículo, desde la historia política de la educación, se analiza la importancia e influencia en el ámbito educativo, que ha tenido la Constitución de 1812, uno de los documentos jurídicos más importantes y de trascendencia en   la historia de España a nivel político, legislativo y social. Efectivamente, la Constitución de 1812, pasará a la historia como la primera que dedicó un Título entero de su articulado a la educación, con elementos esenciales de renovación educativo de nuestro país. Esos nuevos elementos se concretan en su defensa de la universalidad de la educación Primaria para toda la población, sin excepciones y la uniformidad de los planes de enseñanza para todo el Estado. Se debe recordar que en el siglo XIX, el liberalismo español se encontraba con un gran obstáculo a la hora de instaurar un sistema político basado en la soberanía de la nación, la igualdad de derechos, la libertad y la inserción del ciudadano en la vida política: la ignorancia del pueblo, el analfabetismo endémico de España en aquella época histórica. Por eso, y como hiciera antes la Ilustración, los liberales pretendieron dar respuesta a esa situación, promocionando la enseñanza y el nueva y moderna Nación. De este modo, desde fuentes primarias y sustentadas en la legislación educativa, se concluye que, los liberales españoles hicieron una clara declaración de intenciones al situar a la educación no solo como importante factor de progreso, sino también, como base del nuevo régimen político que se estaba pergeñando.
