Las formulaciones del pensamiento contrarrevolucionario español,
en relación con la representación política (absolutistas gaditanos, carlistas,
neocatólicos, etc.), son herederas de las que realizaron en Europa diversos
pensadores que combatieron la Revolución francesa. La tesis fundamental
es el mantenimiento de las Cortes del Antiguo Régimen, que
consideraban adulteradas en los últimos reinados. No existe un corpus
completo de dichas cuestiones, sino simplemente reacciones ante aspectos
puntuales, todas ellas basadas en un rechazo del sufragio universal.

Abstract: The Spanish counter-revolutionary’s formulations, in relation to
the politic representation (Absolutists of Cadiz, Carlists, Neo-Catholics),
are inheritors of those proclaimed by several European intellectuals
in their fight against the French Revolution. Their key argument is
the upholding of the Ancient Regime’s Assembly as they considered
them to have been perverted during the previous reigns. Their ideas,
rather than forming a corpus, can be traced through their responses
to isolated questions, all of them based on the rejection of the universal
suffrage.
