This paper aims to look into the transformations in the legal culture after the promulgation of the Cadiz Constitution in 1812, its suppression in 1814 and finally its restoration in 1820. To achieve this objective, it takes in consideration a discourse given in the first public lecture of constitutional law in the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico by the jurist Blas Osés, as well as the press and pamphlets of these years. Its content allows understanding the fractures and continuities between the legal order of the Ancient Regime and the Modernity.

Keywords : Ancient Regime; constitutional law; constitution of Cadiz; legal culture; legal history.
