No 1: How is the Bill of Rights
strengthened in
the 1987 Constitution?
There are several ways in which
the Bill of Rights is strengthened in
the 1987 Constitution.
1. New rights are given explicit
recognition
such
as,
the
prohibition against detention by
reason of political beliefs and
aspirations.
The
waiver
of
Miranda rights is now required to
be made in writing with the
assistance of counsel. The use of

solitary,
incommunicado
and
secret
detention
places
is
prohibited, while the existence of
substandard
and
inadequate
penal facilities is made the
concern of legislation.
