Show the answer
1978 (answers within ±1 count)
Why
1978, ratified in a referendum on 6 December and in force at the end of that month. The date is worth fixing because so much of the Spanish legal order predates it, the Civil Code by nearly ninety years, and the constitutional reading of pre-constitutional statutes is a permanent occupation of the courts rather than a transitional problem.
