The Political Reform Act (Law 1/1977, of 4 January[1]) was the Spanish law that re-established democracy[2] and allowed the elimination of the governmental structures of the Franco dictatorship through a legal process. It is one of the key events in the Spanish Transition.
The Act was passed on 18 November 1976, by the Francoist Parliament and then overwhelmingly approved by referendum one month later. It was the last of the Fundamental Laws of the Francoist State.[3]
Six months later, Spain celebrated its first democratic elections since 1936.[4] After a further six months, a new Spanish Constitution was given royal assent.[5] Two days later, the Political Reform Act was repealed when the Constitution came into force.
