CCSE questions on Freedoms and personal rights
Practice questions on Freedoms and personal rights for the CCSE. This topic belongs to task 2 (Fundamental rights and duties).
The Spanish Constitution forces everyone to follow a religion.
- AVerdaderoTrue
- BFalsoFalse
Show answer and explanation
✓ Falso
False. In Spain nobody is obliged to have a religion. The Constitution guarantees freedom of thought and religion, and it also says that nobody can be forced to declare their religion, beliefs or ideology. In addition, no religion is a state religion: Spain is a non-confessional State (Estado aconfesional), although it keeps relations of cooperation with the Catholic Church and other faiths. Trick: freedom means being able to choose to believe or not to believe, without pressure from the State.
The Constitution forbids subjecting anyone to torture and abolishes the death penalty.
- AVerdaderoTrue
- BFalsoFalse
Show answer and explanation
✓ Verdadero
True. The Constitution protects the right to life and to physical and moral integrity, and says that nobody can be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment. It also removes the death penalty, except for what military criminal laws may provide in time of war. In practice, the death penalty no longer exists in Spain. Remember the basic idea: people's lives and dignity are protected.
In Spain a person can be forced to say what their ideology or religion is.
- AVerdaderoTrue
- BFalsoFalse
Show answer and explanation
✓ Falso
False. The Constitution guarantees that nobody can be forced to declare their ideology, religion or beliefs. It is part of freedom of thought and religion. A company, the police or an administration cannot demand it from you. Each person decides whether to say it or not, and that includes voting without having to explain your vote. Remember: these are protected private data. If a sentence says you can be forced to say it, it is false.
