The record of Andorra dates back to the "Minutes of the Completion of the Cathedral of Uther" in 839 AD, which referred to Andorra as the territory of the Count of Uther. Starting from the 11th century, the power of Bishop Ukher gradually extended throughout Andorra, and in 1133 Andorra became its diocese. In the 13th century, the French Count of Fiat and Bishop of Uhur competed for sovereignty over Andorra, leading to multiple wars. In 1278 and 1288, they reached two agreements to jointly manage Andorra and divide their economic, legal, military, and other powers. Andorra became a duchy and continued until 1993. During this period, France temporarily lost its rule over Andorra due to the outbreak of the Great Revolution in 1793, and Napoleon I regained this power in 1806. After the implementation of the republic in France, this power was vested in the President. On January 4, 1982, an institutional reform was implemented, and administrative power was transferred from parliament to the government. On March 14, 1993, Andorra passed the historic referendum.
