摘要:This study aims to contribute to our knowledge of a practically unknown chapter in the history of Spanish science by following the actions of two leading botanists as representatives in the Cortes during the Trienio Liberal (1820-1823). It will examine the political impulses that motivated them, and their positions regarding the relevant issues debated in the Cortes concerning the problems that affected their scientific activity, without overlooking related matters in the political sphere which affected daily life in this period. All of this is based fundamentally on materials from the printed source «Diario de sesiones de las Cortes».
