CHAPTER XVIII.

Spain.

Spain is a constitutional and hereditary monarchy, the powers of which are defined by the fundamental law of June 30, 1876. The legislative authority is exercised by the sovereign in conjunction with a parliamentary body called the Cortes, which is composed of two houses, a Senate and a Chamber of Deputies.

Spanish law is founded on the Roman law, the Gothic common law, the National Code of 1501, and the Civil Code of 1888, with its subsequent amendments and additions.
