Abstract:
Discusses the legality of the decree of expulsion of 1492 in light of Spanish law at the time. The Jews in Spain were considered foreigners, mainly because of their religion. The kings granted them some personal rights, which could be rescinded at any time. With the decree of expulsion, the Catholic Monarchs revoked the Jews' civil rights, making use of prerogatives conferred on them by law.
