History:

Since the Constitution of 1837, the Cortes were established as a legislative body constituted by two chambers: the Senate and the Congress of Deputies. The Constitution of the II Republic established one single Cortes in 1931. They changed name to Spanish Cortes and were constituted by a single chamber during the time span between 1942 and 1976. The comeback to the two-chamber system (Senate and Congress) took place in the wake of the 1976 political reform, and the Cortes were renamed as General Cortes. The General Cortes are therefore a Spanish constitutional organism regulated by title III of the Constitution of 1978. They have a two-chamber configuration and are split into the Senate (upper chamber) and the Congress of Deputies (lower chamber). The two chambers exercise essential aspects of national sovereignty on behalf of the people, hold the legislative powers, approve the State Budget and control the government's performance.
