The Bayonne Statute (Spanish: Estatuto de Bayona),[1] also called the Bayonne Constitution (Constitución de Bayona)[2] or the Bayonne Charter (Carta de Bayona),[1] [lower-alpha 1] was a constitution or a royal charter (carta otorgada)[4] approved in Bayonne, France, 6 July 1808, by Joseph Bonaparte as the intended basis for his rule as king of Spain.
The constitution was Bonapartist in overall conception, with some specific concessions made in an attempt to accommodate Spanish culture. Few of its provisions were ever put into effect: his reign as Joseph I of Spain was largely consumed by continuous conventional and guerrilla war as part of the Peninsular War.[5]
