:The purpose of this article: discussion of the constitution in Spain, its history, sources, impact, implications, debated issues, relationship with European Union law, comparison with other countries' constitutions, etc. We should refrain from translating the entire text, but if specific articles are discussed it might be appropriate to translate them here or at least link to external sources for both a Spanish text and an English translation.''

thread_title: Purpose of article & use of primary source material

message: Isn't one of the notable aspects of the constitution that it declared Spanish to be the official language of Spain? - ElAmericano | talk 01:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Official language note 

message: It should be mention that the UN (resolution 1514 of 1960) has recognized self-determination (= the process by which a country determines its own statehood and forms its own allegiances and government (The New Oxford Dictionary of English)) as a fundamental right of the peoples of the World, while the Spanish Constitution of 1978 denies this right.
:If you have read the whole Resolution (http://www.gibnet.com/texts/un1514.htm) you'll see it speaks about colonial territories. Spain has no colonies now.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.4.21.47 (talk) 15:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It may depend on who you ask... Some may say that Spain (or rather, Castille) is submiting their nation. And, well, it's an opinion, isn't it? We are often taught to respect opinions, aren't we?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.57.65.78 (talk) 16:19, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking of Spain as a mere suburb of Castilla is political, and correct. Encyclopedic it is not. --88.89.69.14 (talk) 23:14, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  I belive this article must include that: 

message: I have noticed that, when quoting or talking about pieces of the Spanish Constitution, English articles use two names to refer to them: articles and sections.
I know that article is a literal translation of the Spanish word "artículo", which is used in the Spanish Law System. And I think that this is not the case in Anglo-saxon type os acts. At least I have heard of some pieces of English and US acts being quoted as "sections", e.g. the US Constitution.
Although I do not know whether there is a decision of Wikipedians on this issue, I supose there is not any. Therefore, I suggest that "section", being the cultural equivalent of the Spanish "artículo", should replace "article" wherever used to refer to Spanish acts. 85.57.65.78 (talk) 16:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  articles vs. sections 

message: "The Constitution of Spain [...] has become the longest in use of all the historic Spanish Constitutions."
This is part of the introduction to the article. But this statement is not true. It's a matter os Maths:
*Current Spanish Constitution was passed in 1978. 2008 - 1978 = 30
*1876 Constitution was passed in 1876 and stopped being used in 1923 (although it was theoritacally in force until 1931). 1923 - 1876 = 47.
You can check this data in the article dedicated to historical Spanish Constitution.
Therefore, I have decided to take this statement out. 85.57.70.72 (talk) 22:13, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Constitution length of use 

message: The following sentence is going out-of-date:
:"Spain is now composed entirely of 17 Autonomous Communities and two autonomous cities with varying degrees of autonomy, to the extent that, even though the Constitution does not formally state that Spain is a federation (nor a unitary state), actual power shows, depending on the issue considered, widely varying grades of decentralization, ranging from the quasi-confederal status of tax management in Navarre and the Basque Country to the total centralization in airport management.'"
The Spanish Government has planned to privatize air traffic control towers from airports management, from the public-based enterprise, AENA. A 49% share is expected to be sold by AENA, plus the two major airports, Madrid-Barajas and Barcelona-El Prat. AENA privatization starts up 88.23.119.184 (talk) 14:56, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Constitution of Spain's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:08, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

The word request is ambiguous.  Does the request have force of law, or is it a request addressed to the King or to the leadership of Parliament, who may decline it? —Tamfang (talk) 02:26, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
