Provisional Government of the Second Spanish Republic
The Provisional Government of the Second Spanish Republic ({{langx|es|Gobierno Provisional de la Segunda República Española}}) was the government that held political power in Spain from the fall of Alfonso XIII of Spain on April 14, 1931 and the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic until the approval of the Spanish Constitution of 1931 on December 9 and the formation of the first regular government on December 15. The King's departure created the need for a provisional government, whose first president was Niceto Alcalá Zamora, who presided until 1936, when Manuel Azaña took over. The new constitution established freedom of speech, freedom of association, extended voting privileges to women, allowed divorce, and stripped the Spanish nobility of their special legal status.{{cite web|url=http://www.donquijote.org/culture/spain/history/second-spanish-republic|title=The Second Spanish Republic|publisher=Don Quijote.com|access-date=March 17, 2015}}
