The Constitution was ratified in a referendum on 6 December 1978, and was subsequently sanctioned and promulgated by King Juan Carlos I on the 27th of December. The promulgation of the Constitution implied the culmination of the Transition to democracy, which took place as a result of the death on 20 November 1975 of the former head of State, the dictator General Franco. This precipitated a series of political and historical events that transformed the former dictatorial regime into a “social and democratic State under the rule of law which upholds freedom, justice, equality and political pluralism as the highest values of the legal system”, as proclaimed in the first article of the Constitution. The Magna Carta strengthens the principle of national sovereignty, which resides in the people, and establishes parliamentary monarchy as the form of government. It also repeals, in the Repealing Provision, the Fundamental Laws of the Realm of Franco’s dictatorship, approved in 1938 and modified on many occasions.
