Catalonia is a nation whose origins go back to the Middle Ages. lt has its own language as well as its own singular traditions in culture, politics and law. The history of Catalonia's political institutions began towards the end of the Vlllth century. lts origins lay in the old Carolingian "Marca Hispanica'', which progressively became a sovereign state with its capital in the city ol Barcelona. The holding from the Xlth century onwards of the "Assemblees de Pau i Treva" (Peace and Truce Assembly) was the embryo of the Catalan "Corts " (Parliament). From the Xllth century onwards these "Corts" represented the townspeople, clergy and nobility in the decision making processes. Thus , Catalonia was a step lorward from the kingdoms ol mediaeval Europe towards a Parliamentary system. In 1359 the Corts set up a delegated power named Generalitat, which progressively assumed legal and political powers. This institution was abolished by Philip V, king ol Spain , alter the deleat of the Catalans in 1714. lt was re­established in the year 1931 only to be abolished again in 1939 and finally re-established in the year 1977 .
