What role does the king have regarding how the institutions work?
¿Qué función tiene el rey respecto al funcionamiento de las instituciones?
- ADecide las leyes que se apruebanHe decides which laws are approved
- BDirige la política del GobiernoHe directs the policy of the Government
- CArbitra y modera su funcionamiento regularHe arbitrates and moderates their regular functioning
Show answer and explanation
✓ Arbitra y modera su funcionamiento regular
The Constitution says that the king arbitrates and moderates the regular functioning of the institutions. It is a role of symbol and balance: he signs and promulgates the laws, proposes the candidate for Prime Minister and signs appointments, but he does not decide policy on his own. The one who directs domestic and foreign policy is the Government. So, if an option says the king governs or approves the laws, it is false.
