Abstract

Political participation is essential to the classification as democratic of the legal system (articles 9.2 and 23 of the Spanish Constitution). The referendum is designed as a method of political participation within the Spanish system, complementary to representative democracy, which is versatile for the adoption of particularly significant decisions and for the ratification or reform of constitutional texts, previously approved in constitutional assemblies.
