However, the relationship between laws is not limited to a question of hierarchy, but also relationships of competency exist between some laws and others. With effect to this, the Spanish Constitution of 1978 is the supreme law, which regulates all the complex relationships between the different laws and their place in the hierarchy. The hierarchy of Spanish laws is thus: (1) The Constitution. (2) International treaties. (3) The law in its strict sense: Organic Law (which requires an absolute majority from the Cortes Generales), ordinary law and regulatory laws (amongst which are found the Royal Decree of Law and the Legislative Royal Decree). (4) Laws stemming from the executive, with its own hierarchy based on the function of the body that made them (Royal Decree, Decree, Ministerial Order, etc.)." [Law of Spain.
