The Council of State (Spanish: Consejo de Estado), is the supreme consultative council of the Spanish Government. The current Council of State was established in 1980 according to the article 107 of the Constitution of 1978. The institution of the Council of State, understood as supreme consultative council of the Government, has existed intermittently since 1812, but it has been advising the Spanish monarchs since Carlos I established it in 1526. During the Ancien Régime, the Council of State advised the King about foreign policy.
