Abstract
Since 1978, Catalonia, as with all other regions of Spain, has had a Parliament and an Autonomous Government. The Parliament can legislate but laws must be in agreement with the Spanish Constitution. The Catalan Government has shared responsibilities with the Spanish Government in some areas (Education, Health, Law and Order, Communications, Finances) but no responsibilities in others (Armed Forces, Foreign Office).
