The democratic Constitution introduced in 1978 determines the rights and obligations of the citizens, the organs of government and is at the same time, the reference point for all other laws.
Spain is a hereditary and constitutional Kingdom, with the King as Head of State. The Parliament is called "Las Cortes Generales" and is divided into two chambers, the "Congreso de Diputados" (lower chamber) and "Senado" (upper chamber). The government is the executive branch, but can also legislate. The Prime Minister is called "Presidente del Gobierno".
In Spain, the regions have wide autonomy. They are called "Comunidades Autonomas" having their own governments and parliaments that may also pass laws in certain areas.
The justice is independent from government and parliament, but the judges are appointed by government.
