Abstract

At the end of February 1705 Philip V suppressed the Conferences of the Commons. Throughout the previous years, the Catalan Three Commons (Consell de Cent, Diputació del General and Braç Militar) had been coordinated through conferences of representatives. These Conferences had a key role in the defense of the Constitutions against the transgressions committed by royal officials. What were the underlying reasons that led Philip V to prohibit them? Did they have a legal basis? Why did the royal authorities see them with such fear? The following article aims to deepen these questions.
