The Principality Government and townships

During 715 years, Andorra was governed by two Co-Princes, the Bishop of Urgell, in Spain, and the Count of Foix, in France; the rights of the latter being passed on successively to the French Kings and later to the French Republic President.

The responsibility for internal aspects was delegated to the elected General Council; the judicial, external and defence aspects remained in charge of the Co-Princes. On January, 1982, the legislative and executive functions were separated, and the Government (the executive power) was established, presided by the head of government which is elected by the General Council (legislative power chamber). On March 14, 1993, the Constitution was approved which established Andorra as an independent state, by right and democracy. The Constitution enabled the country to establish an independent judicial power, implement its own foreign policy and join international organisations. Andorra was admitted to the United Nations (ONU) in 1993. The Co-Princes remain as Head of State, a similarly to the Queen of England with respect to, for example, Australia.
