The Constitution of 1978 was signed by the King.

The Spanish Constitution of 1978 marked a pivotal moment in Spain's history. In an effort to transition the country from dictatorship to democracy after the death of General Franco in 1975, the constitution was signed by King Juan Carlos I on 27 December 1978. The document laid the foundation for a constitutional monarchy and established Spain as a parliamentary democracy. The Spanish Constitution of 1978 guaranteed fundamental rights and freedoms, including the right to vote, freedom of speech, and equality before the law. It also granted significant autonomy to Spain's regions, recognizing the country's diverse cultural identities. This momentous event symbolized a turning point for Spain, as it paved the way for political stability, economic growth, and increased social progress. The constitution has endured to this day, solidifying Spain's democratic institutions and serving as the bedrock of the country's modern governance. #SpanishConstitution #TransitiontoDemocracy #KingJuanCarlos #ParliamentaryDemocracy #FundamentalRights
