The 1976 Constitution
The 1976 Constitution: Institutionalizing One-Party Rule
Castro promised elections after Batista’s fall, but the first were delayed until 1976.
The 1976 Constitution declared Cuba a Marxist-Leninist state.
The PCC was established as “the highest leading force of society and the state.”
Elections were held, but only PCC-approved candidates could run.
The PCC became the only legal political organization.
Fidel Castro concentrated power, holding multiple roles: head of state, head of government, commander-in-chief, and First Secretary of the PCC.
The 1976 Constitution created the National Assembly of People’s Power as a legislative body.
Assembly met only twice a year for 4–5 days.
Membership composed entirely of PCC-endorsed candidates.
Provincial and municipal assemblies also operated under the one-party system.
The electoral system functioned more as legitimacy for the regime than as true democratic participation.

The government controlled all media and communication channels
