Impact of La Granja Mutiny in Puerto Rico: between The Constitution of 1812 and independence

Abstract

The attempt of the Puerto Ricans to be part of Spanish politics after the death of Fernando VII, led to the military uprisings of Granada Regiment and the application of the Constitution of 1812 on the island after La Granja Mutiny on the Peninsula, despite the refusal of the central government. This article will tackle the study of conflicting constitutional approval, and the frustration of Puerto Rican autonomists of a desire to adapt special laws that did not occur, leading Puerto Rico to a new ostracism.
