Constituent Cortes (Cortes constituyentes) is the description of the Cortes ( Spanish Parliament ) when convened as a Constituent Assembly . In the 20th Century only one Constituent Cortes was officially opened ("Cortes" are "opened" in accordance with a mediaeval royal proclamation), and that was the Republican Cortes in 1931 . The Cortes in 1977 passed the new Spanish Constitution ; however, that was never officially considered "constituent", as the 1977 General Election s were not mandated to consider a new constitution, but to rule under the constitution of the former Dictatorship - the so called "Leyes Fundamentales" (fundamental laws).
