A better understanding of the Solar System formation process is necessary in order to understand the diversity of extra-solar planetary systems. We investigate the problem of the origin of the obliquity of the giant planets in connection with the origin of their satellites in a self-consistent fashion in order to set constraints on processes assumed to occur at the end of the formation of the planets. We pay special attention to the Uranian system.
