After dictator Francisco Franco's death, the new Spanish Constitution of 1978 established in its Article 2 the right of "regions and nationalities" to self-government. This followed a popular outcry in Andalusia for its own right to autonomy, with a total of over a million and a half people demonstrating in the streets of most Andalusian towns and cities on 4 December 1977, while the constitution was still being drafted. This campaign would lead to the inclusion of two articles regarding autonomy in the finished constitution text: "Article 143", which would give all Spanish regions the chance to become autonomous communities, with fewer devolved powers; and "Article 151", that would set the roles of autonomous communities with a higher degree of autonomy.
