Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the implications of the Aristotelian-Thomism matrix in the composition of the constitutionalist doctrines present in the hispanic political treatis. It is demonstrated how some theses of natural law, re-elaborated by the jurist theologians of the Second Scholastic, were decisive for the formulation of the discursive strategies of limitation of the royal power and affirmation of the primacy of the law in the social organization, being therefore, intrinsically associated with the constitutionalists efforts to ordination the functioning of the political sphere.
