On this day, December 27, in 1978, a national referendum was approved for a new constitution for Spain.after four decades of dictatorial and isolationist rule by General Francisco Franco.
the new Spanish constitution gave lawmaking powers to the Parliament and established certain inherent rights for all citizens. Women are given equal political and civil rights. the old law making adultery a severely punishable offense was abolished. Marriage and divorce laws granted equal status to men and women, and birth control for the first time was allowed.
