Show answer and explanation
✓ Al pueblo español
The Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament) represent the Spanish people. They are made up of the Congreso de los Diputados and the Senado, and the citizens elect their members in the general elections. Their main functions are to approve the laws, approve the budgets and control the Government. The parties take part in the elections, but the members of parliament represent all the citizens. Typical trap: thinking they represent the Government; on the contrary, they control it.
