Definition of Constitution - Constitutional law is a body of law which defines the role, powers, and structure of different entities

within a state, namely, the executive, the parliament or legislature, and the judiciary; as well .

GENERAL - A constitution is an aggregate of fundamental principles or established precedents that constitute the legal basis of

a polity, organisation or other type of entity and commonly determine how that entity is to be governed. [1]
When these principles are written down into a single document or set of legal documents, those documents may be said to embody a written
constitution; if they are written down in a single comprehensive document, it is said to embody a codified constitution.

FILIPINO

República de Filipinas) is the constitution or supreme law of the Republic of the Philippines. Its final draft was completed by the Constitutional
Commission on October 12, 1986 and was ratified by a nationwide plebiscite on February 2, 1987.
Three other constitutions have effectively governed the country in its history: the 1935 Commonwealth Constitution, the 1973 Constitution,
and the 1986 Freedom Constitution.
The earliest constitution establishing a "Philippine Republic", the 1899 Malolos Constitution, was never fully implemented throughout the
Philippines and did not establish a state that was internationally recognized, due in great part to the eruption of the Philippine–American
War following its adoption.

PURPOSE

An efficient and effective constitution allows government tofunction to protect the lives and liberties of citizens without
violating the rights of some to provide gains to others. Non-statist customary and privately produced laws continue to exist
today.
