The Catalan constitutions (Catalan: Constitucions catalanes, IPA: [kunstitusiˈons kətəˈlanəs]) were the laws of the Principality of Catalonia introduced and promulgated by the Count of Barcelona and passed by the Catalan Courts (the parliament). The first constitutions were promulgated by the Corts of 1283. The last ones were promulgated by the Corts of 1705-1706. They had pre-eminence over the other legal rules, including royal decrees, and could only be revoked by the Catalan Courts themselves. The compilations of the constitutions and other rights of Catalonia followed the Roman tradition of the Codex.
