Carlos Andrés y Morell (Planes, Alicante, 1753 - Valencia, January 5, 1820) was a philosopher, lawyer and deputy for the district of Alcoy in the Cortes of Cadiz. Biography
Born in Planes in 1753 and belonging to the nobility, was a lawyer of the Royal Councils. Appointed deputy deputy for the province of Valencia, was chosen by the corresponding fifty-one electors, the day 14 of February of 1810 in the City council, being approved its power by the Cortes 12 of June of 1811, when replacing the deputy elect Jose Lledó, who, although he had been elected on February 2, 1810, could not attend because he was captured by the French. He swore and took office in the session of June 12, 1811. Conservative thinking, very much in the line of Borrull, showed a somewhat condescending attitude with the bishop of Orense in his confrontation with the Cortes of Cadiz and, when the third regency of the Regency was discussed, it voted in the line of those who asserted the danger that it would become practically invulnerable and that it would fall into a kind of ministerial despotism. He was part of the committee responsible for examining the proposals and files submitted by Deputy Garcés on the Serranía de Ronda, composed of three deputies. Voted in favor of the survival of the tribute called Voto de Santiago. For that reason he is one of the founders of the Constitution of Cadiz of 1812. Writer and translator, was member of the Academy of Florence. In 1817, he refused the office of Oidor of the Audiencia de Mallorca that the monarch Fernando VII granted him. He died in 1820.
