Statute of Bayonne
The Statute of Bayonne was a constitution for Spain approved in July 1808 by an assembly of Spanish notables summoned by Napoleon to Bayonne in France. Granted by Joseph Bonaparte as King Joseph I, it set up a Catholic monarchy with a cortes of estates and limited reforms on the French model. It is regarded as Spain's first constitution, but it was never fully applied.
