Show answer and explanation
✓ Estatuto de Autonomía
Each comunidad autónoma (region with self-government) has an Estatuto de Autonomía, which is its basic institutional rule. It defines its name, its territory, its institutions and the powers it takes on. It is approved as a ley orgánica (organic law) by the Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament), in line with the Constitution. That is why there are 17 statutes plus those of Ceuta and Melilla. Do not confuse it with the Constitution, which is the common law for the whole State, or with the ordenanzas (local by-laws), which are rules of the ayuntamientos (town councils).
