2. Give atleast one social, political, economic and cultural issue

in the Philippine History that you think greatly affects the
current state of our country and please elaborate.
Answer: I think Commonwealth Constitution was one or I
should say has still the greatest that affects the current state of
our country.The 1935 Constitution provided the legal basis of
the Commonwealth Government which was considered a
transition government before the granting of the Philippine
independence with American-inspired constitution; the
Philippine government would eventually pattern its
government system after American government. While the
dominant influence in the constitution was American, it also
bears traces of Malolos Constitution, the German, Spanish and
Mexican Constitutions, and several South American Countries
and the unwritten English Constitution. Draft was approved by
the Constitutional convention on 8 February 1935 and ratified
by the U.S president Franklin D. Roosevelt on 25March 1935.
