Infos

The Constitution of the Philippines serves as the supreme law of the land, outlining the framework of government, fundamental rights, and the separation of powers among branches that govern the country. Featuring a clear and concise legalistic style, the document is structured to provide explicit guidelines for the exercise of governmental authority while enshrining the rights of citizens. Contextually, it embodies the historical struggles for democracy and sovereignty faced by the Filipino people, particularly in the aftermath of martial law and the People Power Revolution that shaped modern governance in the Philippines. The Government of the Philippines, as the author of this constitutional document, reflects the collective aspirations of its citizens toward a fair and just society. The Constitution emerged out of decades of political turmoil, colonial rule, and the quest for self-determination, influenced by both local and international legal philosophies. Its drafting involved extensive consultation with civil society and experts, highlighting the importance of a participatory democratic framework in its formation. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the foundational principles that govern the Philippines. It is recommended for scholars, legal practitioners, and citizens alike, providing a critical resource for comprehending the legal and political dynamics of a nation that continues to evolve in pursuit of justice and equality.
