The committee of 7 people that drafted the constitution included people from very different ideologies, for example a former member of the Franco government, a Catalan member of UCD, a Catalan nationalist, a socialist or a Catalan member of the communist party and they all agreed on the text that was voted. Were they all dominated by the Francoist regime? By that time Spain had already had democratic elections so, if that text were rejected the result would be to restart the constitutive process, not to go back to the dictatorship.Ultimately we need to answer one question: is the current Spanish Constitution democratic or not? if it is, it does not matter how it came to be. Any changes could be done by a democratic process. If it is not, then all the Spanish citizens are affected and a whole new constitutive process is needed where all the citizens vote, not only Catalans.
