| Summary: | This article analyzes the legal significance of the inclusion of language rights in the catalogue of rights & obligations contemplated in Title I of the Statute. Language rights had heretofore only been recognized in the legal sphere. After appeals were filed questioning the constitutionality of the reform of the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, a debate ensued regarding the possibility that statutes of autonomy might contain a charter of rights. As part of its analysis, this paper considers the terms of this debate. It concludes that while the statutes are clearly not "constitutions," nothing prohibits them from regulating areas that fall within their own jurisdiction. Adapted from the source document |
