| 释义 |
A referendum on the new constitution or organic law was held in Spain on 14 December 1966, with all Spaniards over age 21 being allowed to participate. The new constitution, The Organic Law of the State ({{lang-es|Ley Orgánica del Estado}}), stipulated a slight restraint on General Francisco Franco's autocratic powers as the Head of State, limiting such powers to the formulation of general state policy, representing Spain in foreign relations as well as to ratifying treaties and exercising supreme command of the Armed Forces and serving as the head of the Movimiento Nacional, a coalition of political, economic and military sectors supporting the dictatorship and designated an office of "Chief of Government" that would manage the day-to-day operations of the government and be responsible to the Cortes for a program of government and alongside the Government as well as carrying out the general policy of the State formulated by the Head of State, alongside the Government and, that is separate and independent from that of Head of State (although both were held concurrently by Franco until 1973), serving terms of five years, nominated by the Council of the Realm and approved by the Chief of State, an office which after Franco's death would be replaced by that of King of Spain with the same authorities and functions. The choice of heir belonged to the Head of State alone, to be confirmed in the Cortes Españolas by a two-thirds majority and subsequently passed on through inheritance. The Organic Law also included that the Council of the Realm be reduced from 17 members to 13 (ten elected by the Cortes, seven appointed by the Chief of State), and the Cortes from 611 deputies to 403 (108 directly elected, 25 appointed by the Head of State, with the rest elected by corporate bodies), and confirmed freedom of religion for Spanish Jews and Protestants. The Cortes was also given greater legislative powers by the Law.[1] It was reportedly approved by 98.1% of voters.[2] The Organic Law took effect as of January 1, 1967, and remained in place until the present Spanish Constitution of 1978 was enacted by a referendum the same year, following Franco's death and the resumption of parliamentary government through a fully and directly elected assembly.[3] Results
