THE SPANISH CONSTITUTION IN 100 QUESTIONS

Know and understand with amenity and rigour the Spanish Constitution. What is democracy, the social and democratic State of law, the parliamentary monarchy, the territorial organization of the State, the characteristics of the electoral procedure, the fundamental rights of citizens, the possibilities for reform, etc. Only by knowing what the Constitution really states a citizen may be truly free.
Can the European Union treaties contradict the Constitution? Is our democracy truly modern? What can and cannot an autonomous region do ? Why may a party with more votes than others have fewer seats in the courts? Can the members of the parliament and senate be judged? What is the difference between a motion of censure and a question of trust? Why is it said that judges are independent? Are we really all equal before the law? Does the Constitution force the citizens to pay taxes? To what extent can parents choose their children's education? Can a part of the national territory be segregated?
