Show answer and explanation
✓ Juan Carlos I
Juan Carlos I was proclaimed king in 1975, after Franco's death, and led the Transición (the transition) to democracy. He signed the Constitution of 1978 and the law that called the first free elections. Alfonso XIII was king before the Second Republic, and Felipe VI, the son of Juan Carlos I, has reigned since 2014. Carlos III reigned in the 18th century. Remember: the dictatorship ends in 1975, democracy with Juan Carlos I.
