The Spanish democracy is based on the Spanish Constitution. 00:00:01
The Spanish Constitution is the most important law in our country. 00:00:05
It was passed in 1978 and it was approved in a popular vote, 00:00:09
a referendum that was held the 6th of December 1978. 00:00:16
That's why we celebrate every 6th of December the Constitution Day. 00:00:22
The constitution is so important because it sets the basic rules of our social coexistence in Spain. 00:00:27
Very importantly, the constitution includes our rights as Spanish citizens. 00:00:34
And these rights are not all equal. 00:00:40
There are civil rights, political rights and socio-economic rights acknowledged in the constitution and they are different. 00:00:44
Let me explain this difference to you. 00:00:52
the civil rights protect your freedom they are things that the state cannot do 00:00:54
to you forbidden things for example the state the government cannot kill you and 00:01:01
that's why we have the right to life meaning that nobody can kill you not 00:01:07
even the police not even the government even if you do something terrible you 00:01:12
have your right to life and this right is there to protect your freedom because 00:01:17
if the state could kill you, you would not be free. Some other very important civil rights that 00:01:21
are included in the Spanish constitution are the right not to be discriminated against, 00:01:28
the right to free expression, the right to free thought, the right to own your private property, 00:01:35
the right to free marriage, etc. Political rights are different. Political rights protect another 00:01:42
value. In this case, the value is participation in society. And political rights, which are also 00:01:50
included in the Constitution, include the right to vote if you are over 18 and a Spanish citizen, 00:01:56
or the right to create a political party. They also include the right to protest in the streets 00:02:03
in order to show your political opinions. This is called the right to free assembly, 00:02:10
the right to participate in a demonstration for example. Finally, the constitution also includes 00:02:16
socio-economic rights. These rights protect your equality and they are things that the state must 00:02:24
give you for free. Let me give you an example. Education is a socio-economic right. Education 00:02:31
is very expensive, you have to pay the salaries of the teachers for example, but the state pays 00:02:39
that for you you don't have to pay to go to school because the constitution says that basic education 00:02:45
will be free for every spanish citizen and why is that imagine you had to pay in order to go to 00:02:52
school then only people with money could go to school we would not be equal in order to protect 00:02:59
our equality it is necessary that the government pays for your education and also for your health 00:03:06
So health is also a socioeconomic right and also social security, 00:03:12
which includes the pensions for people who are retired 00:03:18
or the economic financial help for unemployed people who lost their jobs. 00:03:22
So we have a lot of rights and they are included in the constitution, 00:03:29
which is the most important law in our country. 00:03:33
But the constitution also says that the Spanish citizens have duties. 00:03:36
Of course, we not only have rights, we also have obligations. 00:03:41
The first one, and the most important, is the obligation to respect other people's rights, of course. 00:03:47
But the Constitution also includes specific obligations of Spanish citizens. 00:03:53
They are our civic duties, our obligations as citizens. 00:03:58
For example, we have the duty to pay our taxes, 00:04:02
because they are necessary to provide for social services such as health or education. 00:04:05
The Constitution also says that we have the obligation to help people in case of catastrophe, 00:04:11
of a very important emergency. 00:04:18
And we also have the duty to defend Spain, to defend democracy, if it is in danger. 00:04:21
