Each autonomy is divided into several provinces, except the uniprovincial.
Regarding rights and duties: they can not be foundations of legal privilege: nature, filiation, sex, social class, wealth, political ideas or religious beliefs. Everyone has the right to freely express their ideas and opinions, using any means of dissemination, without being subject to prior censorship.	Regarding rights and duties: spaniards are equal before the law, without any discrimination for reasons of birth, race, sex, religion, opinion, or any other personal or social condition or circumstance. The dignity of the person, the inviolable rights which are inherent, the free development of the personality, respect for the law and the rights of others, are the foundation of political order and social peace.
