Summary/Abstract: The article is the result of research into the history of Polish-Spanish relations at the time of the rapid transformations that both monarchies experienced at the end of the modern era. Its purpose is to provide an insight into one of the constitutional proceedings in the face of the threat of Napoleon’s invasion of Spain. In the drafts of the reform created at that time, we find threads that show the interest in the system of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the desire to implement its elements in the new Spanish political system. The author analyses the references to the Polish legal and political tradition that appeared in the two drafts of the reform of the Spanish political system in 1809.
