The Spanish Constitution of 1978 has become this February the longest-lasting of the nine constitutions that have succeeded one another in the History of Spain, surpassing the text of 1876, something that was known by 49.2% of those surveyed by the February Barometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS).
The study, conducted between February 2 and 6 with a sample of 4,027 interviews, concludes that 82.3% of Spaniards believe that our Constitution “has contributed to the development of social rights in Spain, to economic prosperity and the improvement of employment (75.3%), and to Spain having a more prominent role in Europe and in the world (71.6%).
The most significant aspects of the current Constitution for Spaniards are positive. First, 31.8% say it "guarantees freedom," 21.2% believe it "allows for the peaceful resolution of conflicts," and 15.6% say it "was approved by almost everyone's agreement."
37.3% of those surveyed believe that the Constitution can help solve the problems we currently have, while 58.1% do not believe that it can.
