History

After the constituent elections of 1931, the Cortes, in charge of drawing up a new Constitution, were inaugurated on 14 July 1931.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The composition of the chamber in the constituent period was dominated by the centre and left parties,Шаблон:Sfn the majority being Republican – socialist. The socialist Julián Besteiro was the first president of the Cortes, first interim and then definitively elected on 28 July 1931.Шаблон:Sfn On 1 October 1931, the Chamber approved the constitutional article that would enshrine women's suffrage with 161 votes in favour and 121 against.Шаблон:Sfn The 1931 Constitution was finally approved on 9 December 1931 with 368 votes in favour and none against (89 right-wing deputies absent).Шаблон:Sfn The text regulated the figure of the Permanent Deputation, with the function of assuming the functions of the parliamentary chamber during its parentheses.Шаблон:Sfn In July 1933, the Chamber would approve an electoral law that would accentuate the premium for majorities that had already been introduced by the legislation promulgated by the provisional government before the first elections of 1931 were held.Шаблон:Sfn

The 1933 elections, already held under the new legislation, gave rise to a parliamentary change and a chamber with the right-wing CEDA as the largest parliamentary group.Шаблон:Sfn Opened on 8 December 1933, the new Cortes provisionally elected the radical Santiago Alba as president of the chamber.Шаблон:Sfn In November 1934, the change in the regulations of the Cortes was approved.Шаблон:Sfn

The 1936 elections, also developed with the electoral law of 1933, gave a parliamentary majority to the left-wing Popular Front. The Republican Diego Martínez Barrio would be elected president of the Cortes.Шаблон:Sfn

During the course of the civil war, the Cortes did not meet again in Madrid and became itinerant: they held sessions in 1937 in Valencia (in the Valencia City Hall building and in the Lonja de la Seda)Шаблон:Sfn and in 1938 in the monastery of Montserrat and in San Cugat.Шаблон:Sfnm Close to the end of the conflict, the Cortes, on their way to exile, held their last session in Spanish territory on 1 February 1939 in the castle of San Fernando de Figueras, closing this session at 12:45 p.m.Шаблон:Sfnm

Once the civil war ended and the dictatorship of Francisco Franco was established throughout the Spanish territory in 1939, the Cortes Republicanas continued to meet in exile.Шаблон:Sfn

Electoral constituencies

The legislation of May 1931 introduced by the Provisional Government modified the Decree of 8 August 1907 and the Restoration districts by provincial constituencies, with the exception of province capitals with a population of more than 100,000 inhabitants, which were constituted as independent constituencies to the provincial.Шаблон:Sfn In addition, Cartagena, Ceuta and Melilla also formed a circumscription.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The 1931 elections were therefore carried out with 63 constituencies.Шаблон:Sfn

After the implementation of the electoral law of 1933, with the increase to 150,000 inhabitants of the necessary population of a provincial capital to establish itself as an independent constituency from the provincial one, the capitals of Córdoba and Granada lost their constituency status.Шаблон:Sfn The Cartagena constituency used in 1931 was integrated into that of Murcia (province) for the 1933 and 1936 elections.Шаблон:Sfn
