Best Answer

Kings are not elected. Juan Carlos I is the grandson of the last reigning King of Spain. Francisco Franco negotiated with his father, brought him to Spain, and educated him as his successor. Juan Carlos I then successfully guided Spain through the PEACEFUL transition from an absolute Dictatorship to a constitutional monarchy.

Sounds like a hell of a man to me.
