Zusammenfassung

The delimitation of the origin of representative democracy has been the resultof numerous studies that culminated on June 18, 2013 with the consideration by UNESCO of the Cortes de León of 1188 as the origin of the current parliamentaryrepresentative system. The Decrees of León constitute the documentary corpusthat contains the manifestation, verified up to the present, older than the Europeanparliamentary system and that was reflected in its inclusion in the Memory of the World Register. Due to its similarity with modern practices of parliamentaryrepresentation, it could be considered that they possess a constitutional heritageand represent the first foundation stone of the rule of law and legality.
