Abstract

The Spanish civil codification was the latest of all. Several factors led to this delay: political and social matters, and, interconnected therewith, the existence of a legal diversity that refused to give way. We are used to play down this resistance exerted during the first half of the 19th century. However, while it is true that the strength and articulation that characterizes the same resistance during the second half of the century is not comparable to the one produced in the previous period, this does not mean the absence of it. There were circumstances of different nature that prevented its realization and demonstration, but nevertheless it was there, and as soon as those circumstances disappeared, it was openly exteriorized.
