Show answer and explanation
✓ Social y democrático de Derecho
Article 1 of the Constitution defines Spain as a social and democratic State governed by law (Estado social y democrático de Derecho). Social because it protects the well-being of everyone, democratic because power comes from the people, and governed by law because everyone, even the rulers, must respect the laws. Its higher values are freedom, justice, equality and political pluralism. Spain is not a federation or a confederation, although it has autonomías (regions with self-government).
