Congreso

Abstract

The image contains news about the meeting of representatives of the provinces in the city to discuss the preliminary points of the Congress. Topics of discussion include the location of Congress, recognition of the Regency of Spain, and whether the system of government should be purely federal. The question arises whether this Congress is a continuation of the past or a new formation. If it is a continuation, it is argued that the old representatives must admit the new ones, requiring them to take the same oath that they took. If it is newly formed, the importance of installing it before resolving the points in question is highlighted, since without being formally installed it cannot be considered a Congress. Furthermore, the question of what to call this Congress is addressed, suggesting simply "Congress" because until now it is the congregation of the deputies of the provinces and the federation is one of the points to be discussed, not the Congress itself.
