To this end he bases his proposals in two principles: 1. The inclusion of intangibility clauses, regardless of the procedure to be followed. 2. The establishment of a single constitutional reform procedure, seizing the inertia of the current constitutional regulation, following either thequalified-majority system (similar to the one currently established in article 167) or the double legislature one (exemplified in article 168 stipulations), and resolving and simplifying in both cases the malfunctions that both procedures could present.Summary:Introduction: the housekeeper is evaluating the possibility of refurbishingthe kitchen. 1.

La inclusión de cláusulas de intangibilidad, independientemente del procedimiento a seguir. 2. Establecimiento de un único procedimiento de reforma constitucional, aprovechando la inercia de la actual regulación constitucional, bien siguiendo el sistema de mayoría cualificada (similar al establecido actualmente en el artículo 167 CE), bien el de doble Legislatura (ejemplificado en las previsiones prescritas en el artículo 168 CE), resolviendo las disfunciones que ambos procedimientos podrían atesorar, simplificando los mismos.Abstract:The author conducts a previous study on constitutional regulation concerning the Spanish constitutional reform, in order subsequently to establish guidelines to improve the reform procedure.
