State coercion of art. 155 SC in the structure of the autonomous State

The Spanish constituent recognized in the art. 155 of the Constitution a category of the tradition of the German decentralized system: the state coercion. The state coercion emerges during the period of the confederation of the nineteenth century to supply the deficiences of the constitutional justice, attributing to the central state organs different faculties to ensure the fulfillment the constitutional (and legal) obligations by the members of the decentralized system. The engagement of state coercion presents problems in a decentralized system built from a Constitution as supreme law, whose protection is attributed to a Constitutional Court. This work has attempted to analyze the role of state coercion of art. 155 SC in the structure of the autonomous State.
