    Este trabajo analiza el papel que las instituciones tienen en el proceso de crecimiento económico. Centramos el estudio especialmente en Inglaterra alrededor de los acontecimientos que se desarrollaron en torno a la denominada Revolución Gloriosa. A partir del estudio de los hechos se abordará el estudio de las aportaciones teóricas que en ese momento preciso se llevaron a cabo. El análisis se concreta en las ideas que a este respecto desarrolló el inglés John Locke, observador de primera mano de los acontecimientos políticos que en este momento tuvieron lugar, acerca del alcance del poder legislativo.

    This work analyzes the role that institutions play in the process of economic growth. We focus the study especially in England around the events surrounding the so-called Glorious Revolution. Based on the study of these events, the research examines the theoretical contributions that were made during that specific period. The analysis focuses on the ideas developed by John Locke, a firsthand observer of the political events taking place at that time, about the scope of legislative power.
