I rely for my knowledge of the Constituent Assembly on Mori, <i>Crónica</i>, especially Vols. 1–4, 6, 7, and 9; and on Rhea Marsh Smith, <i>The Day of the Liberals in Spain</i>, which is the best study of the Assembly in English. The judgments, however, about how it might have succeeded are my own.

<div class="anno" ID="">A74</div> | <div class="anno" ID="A74">A74</div><div class="annotext">"LA VIEJA POLITICA" IN THE NEW CONSTITUTION (P. 225). For Ortega's position on the Catalan Statute, see Mori, <i>Crónica</i>, Vol. 6, especially pp. 112–153, 331–429; and Vol. 9, especially pp. 402–468. This source is much more useful than the text of Ortega's speeches as they were reproduced in <i>El Sol</i> or in books, for Mori included the whole development of the issue, other important speeches, comments from the floor, etc. The transcripts of Ortega's speeches are also in <i>Obras</i> XI, pp. 455–488, but Mori is still a better source. Unamuno's position may be found in "Discurso sobre la lengua española," his <i>Obras</i> III pp. 1350–1361, the transcript of his statement on the issue shows that he was allied with Ortega's position. For Ortega's views on the welfare state as they were expressed in the Assembly see "En el debato político," "Sobre lo de ahora," and "La rectificación de la República," <i>Obras</i> XI, pp. 348–356, 360–6, 398–417. For Ortega's view of the relation of church and state, see his speech in the Assembly, "Proyecto de Constitución," September 4, 1931, <i>Obras</i> XI, especially pp. 382–3. For his view of anti-clericalism and the Monarchy after its fall, see "La rectificación de la República," December 6, 1931, <i>Obras</i> XI, especially pp. 407–9, and "Antimonarquia y República," <i>Luz</i>, January 7,1932, <i>Obras</i> XI, pp. 418–9. As can be seen from Mori, <i>Crónica</i>, Vol. 3, pp. 280–6, the Law of the Defense of the Republic went through with surprisingly little discussion. For the feelings raised by the trial see <i>Ibid</i>., Vol. 4, pp. 295–370.</div> | ||

<div class="anno" ID="A75">A75</div><div class="annotext">ONLY A NON-PARTISAN PARTY COULD PREVENT POLARIZATION (p. 226). For the publicity campaign leading up to Ortega's speech, see "En vísperas de un discurso: Ortega y Gasset y el futuro de España," <i>El Sol</i>, November 17, 1931; "Una cuartilla de Don José Ortega y Gasset," <i>El Sol</i>, November 18, 1931; "Notas políticas: El esperado discurso de Don José Ortega y Gasset," <i>El Sol</i>, November 27, 1931; and "El discurso de Don José Ortega y Gasset: Un llamamiento para la creación de un partido de amplitud nacional" <i>El Sol</i>, December 8, 1931. Cf. "Hablando con el Sr. Ortega y Gasset después de su discurso," <i>Crisol</i>, December 7, 1931. The last two articles have very useful information on judging the effect of Ortega's speech. For his desire for a national party prior to the fall of the Monarchy, see "Organización de la decencia nacional," <i>El Sol</i> February 5, 1930, <i>Obras</i> XI, pp. 269–273. Ramón Pérez de Ayala's essays "Sobre los partidos políticos," <i>Escritos políticos</i>, pp. 237–252, are also pertinent.</div> | <div class="anno" ID="A75">A75</div><div class="annotext">ONLY A NON-PARTISAN PARTY COULD PREVENT POLARIZATION (p. 226).
