But Catalonia enjoyed self-government before 1714?, Was a sovereign territory?, Was perhaps an independent state?
Who better can answer these questions is Professor Jaume Vicens Vives, Catalan historian best in history.
But before the words of Vicens Vives was the organization know as and institutional policy of the Crown of Aragon: Cortes
were represented in the church, the nobility and the city magnates.
The king granted the liberties and privileges cuts in exchange for money and military support.
Now, we know by Jaume Vicens Vives organic political mechanism the Crown of Aragon:
"-At the top, the monarchy and his court: peace, war, diplomacy, justice, law and overall finances.
"A step below, the governor general in charge of ensuring justice and the law on behalf of the monarch in the country where this was not present.
"Lower still, the spokesmen for the Governor General, the officers responsible for representing the Governor-General in the maintenance of public order and the administration of justice.
"And below, the district officials, representatives of regional supreme power.
"This was the state apparatus. Next, living with him, but not subject to it, the device "pacts" of territory: the Courts, Municipalities, Guilds, outlined below with the Provincial General.
This scheme of constitutional mechanism of the Crown of Aragon ruled until 1714.
of him does not seem appropriate to conclude that self-government or self-government existed one. "
Therefore we can affirm that Catalonia has never enjoyed sovereignty and never has been an independent country and has enjoyed self-government only twice. The first in the second English Republic, and the second with the statute of 1979.
