Abstract

El reconocimiento de la libertad de imprenta es uno de los grandes logros de la Constitución de 1812, lo que supuso la derogación de la censura y con ello la posibilidad de publicar toda clase de escritos sin necesidad de controles previos. No obstante, esa libertad de prensa se limita al orden político, ya que continúa subsistiendo la censura previa para los escritos religiosos y con ello la exigencia de responsabilidad penal (particularmente rigurosa) para quien publique sin la autorización de la Iglesia, lo cual se hace difícilmente comprensible en unas Cortes liberales que pretendieron poner fin al absolutismo del Antiguo Régimen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The recognition of freedom of the press is one of the great achievements of the 1812 Constitution, which implies the abolition of censorship and with it the possibility of publishing all sorts of writing without the need for prior checking. However, press freedom is limited to politics, as it continues to subsist prior censorship for religious writings and with it the possibility of criminal responsibility (particularly strict) for those who publish without the permission of the Church, which is difficult to understand in a liberal courts that sought to end the absolutism of the Ancien regim.
