The reform in the Spanish Constitution of 1978: Proposals and evaluation

Abstract

In recent times there is an interesting debate about the need or not of the reform of the Constitution, both from the contributions of different politicalparties, as well as from an academic and doctrinal perspective. However, not all matters of the Constitution need reforms. In this research work those articles that could be subject to a renovation or improvement are analyzed, so the juridical technique of making very specific reforms, which is the one that has been followed until now, in the two reforms operated in our Magna Carta. In this way, the main objective of this research work is to specify which articles of the Constitution could be subject to reform. The second objective is to try to contribute, with a constructive and positive contribution, to the improvement and efficiency of the normative texts, in particular, of our Fundamental Text, through proposals for constitutional reform that be logical and beneficial for coexistence, and for our institutional, legal and political stability.
