Government, law and civic participation

CorrectWrong

Correct answer: una monarquía parlamentaria.

Spain has a king, but he does not govern: the country is run by a government that relies on parliament. Hence the name, monarquía parlamentaria. Spain is not a federation; it is divided into autonomous communities.

CorrectWrong

Correct answer: Constitución.

The country's supreme law is the Constitución. The current one was adopted in 1978, and every other law must comply with it. The manual calls it the “ley de leyes”, the law of laws.

CorrectWrong

Correct answer: el pueblo español.

Article 1 of the Constitution: sovereignty belongs to the Spanish people, from whom all the powers of the State emanate. The Government and the Congress get their powers from the people, not the other way round.

The Instituto de las Mujeres is a Spanish public body that belongs to the Ministry of Equality. It is neither an NGO nor a European institution.
