The Political System of the Restoration
The political system was based on two pillars: the Constitution of 1876 and the turnismo, the peaceful alternation in power of the two main political parties: the Conservative Party, led by Antonio Canovas del Castillo and heir to the Moderates, and the Liberal Party, headed by Práxedes Mateo Sagasta and heir to the Progressives.
The Constitution of 1876
The Constitution of 1876 was moderate but flexible enough to allow the parties to govern without major changes.

Genotype | Number of Individuals in the Population with that Genotype | Number of Allele A Contributed to the Gene Pool by that Genotype | Number of Allele a Contributed to the Gene Pool by that Genotype |
AA | 50 | 50×2=100 | 50×0=0 |
Aa | 40 | 40×1=40 | 40×1=40 |
aa | 10 | 10×0=0 | 10×2=20 |
Total | 100 | 140 | 60 |
Let the letter p stand for the frequency of allele A. Let the letter q stand for the frequency of allele a. We can calculate p and q as follows:
- p = number of A alleles/total number of alleles = 140/200 = 0.7
- q = number of a alleles/total number
