Abstract
En este trabajo exploramos la recepción que tuvo la Francogallia del jurista calvinista francés François Hotman en la Inglaterra del XVII, y más en concreto, durante la crisis constitucional que desembocó en la llamada Revolución Gloriosa. El objetivo consiste en determinar el modo en que la Francogallia como obra centrada en la historia constitucional francesa se convirtió en un símbolo del poder limitado, que a su vez se asimiló a una tradición constitucional que habrían compartido los Estados europeos, incluida Inglaterra. Se trata de definir los contornos de la tradición que llegó a representar la Francogallia dentro del marco del pensamiento constitucional inglés. A fin de exponer la manera en que los ingleses convirtieron la Francogallia en herencia propia, planteamos la siguiente hipótesis: la tradición de la Francogallia es equiparable a un método que se basa en el ejemplo histórico, y que sirve como argumento en sentido constitucionalista.
This paper explores the reception that Francogallia, by French Calvinist jurist Francois Hotman, had in seventeenth-century England, and more specifically, during the constitutional crisis that led to the so-called Glorious Revolution. The aim is to determine the manner in which Francogallia as a tract that focused on French constitutional history became a symbol of limited power, which in turn was assimilated to a constitutional tradition that was presumed to have been shared by European states, including Britain. The intent is to defi ne the contours of the tradition that the Francogallia came to represent within the framework of English constitutional thought. To do so, we propose the following hypothesis: the tradition of Francogallia was assimilated to a method that was based on historical example, and served in turn as a constitutionalist argument.
