Show answer and explanation
✓ La Constitución
The most important rule in Spain is the Constitution, approved in 1978. It is called the "law of laws" because all other rules (laws, regulations, estatutos de autonomía) must respect it. If a law goes against it, it can be cancelled by the Tribunal Constitucional (the Constitutional Court). Other rules, like the Código Civil or the Estatuto de los Trabajadores, are important laws, but of a lower rank. That is why it is also called the "fundamental law".
