Definition
A parliament or legislative assembly, especially historical Spanish and Portuguese legislatures.
Etymology
From Spanish and Portuguese 'corte' (court), derived from Latin 'cohors' (courtyard/enclosed space). Originally meant the royal court, then expanded to the assembly meeting there.
Kelly Says
Spanish cortes date back to the 1100s, making them one of Europe's oldest parliaments—and Spain's modern constitution of 1978 deliberately designed the Cortes with strong powers to prevent authoritarian rule after 40 years of dictatorship.
