Show answer and explanation
✓ Los diputados y los senadores
The legislative power belongs to the Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament), that is, to the deputies of the Congreso and the senators of the Senado. They make and approve the laws. The Prime Minister and the ministers form the Government, which holds the executive power. The judges and magistrates hold the judicial power. An easy phrase: to legislate is to make laws, and the members of parliament make them.
