Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the legal nature of article 155 of the Constitution from its conceptual, theoretical and legal presuppositions, which have not yet been defined appropriately by Spanish legal doctrine or case law. The study intends to demonstrate a) why art. 155 of the Constitution recognises a power of substitution and not coercion (conceptual presuppositions), b) the theoretical justification for this having to be the content of art. 155 (theoretical presuppositions) c) the legal explanation for the state being able to carry out substitution of the Autonomous Communities (legal presuppositions). Following on from these presuppositions, this study examines the actual content of art. 155 of the Constitution, and the substitution measures, and limits therein, which might be adopted with regard to the Autonomous Communities.
