EXERCISE 3.03

1. The administrative body that governed the country from year 1935
to 1946 is the Commonwealth Constitution of the Philippines.

2. The preamble introduces the constitution and the source of

sovereignty, the people. It follows the pattern in past
constitutions, including an appeal to God.

3. The characteristics of a good written constitution are the

following:
• Brief – not too detailed, but significant enough.
• Broad - covers the whole state and rights of the citizens
as well as many future contingencies.
• Definite – definitions and interpretations are definite.

4. Article XVII establishes the methods by which the Constitution

may be amended or revised. Amending the constitution may be
proposed by either: a) a three-fourths vote of all Members of
Congress (called a Constituent Assembly), b) a Constitutional
Convention, or c) a petition of at least twelve percent of all
registered voters, and at least three percent of registered
voters within each district (called a People's Initiative).
Furthermore, all amendments must be ratified in a national
referendum.

5. Article III (Bill of Rights) enumerates specific protections

against the abuse of state power, most of which are similar to
the provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

ACTIVITY 3.03

1. As they say, No one is above the law. Everyone, regardless of their

social standing, is expected to live and act in accordance with
the principles of the rule of law, whether they are a government
officer or the state itself. if the leaders and head of the country
has utter disrespect to the principle and guidance of Constitution,
they are simply violating a higher law and does not conform with
fairness as a leader. They are simply reprimanding the constitution
and with that, they are to desire a punishment for each law they
didn’t determine by a court and be proportionate to the offence.
As a leader, their stimulus in the society or state is very
influential and dominant to its people. If they, themselves will
continue to disrespect and contempt the law or constitution in
their certain state, they are more likely to ruin the basis for
governance in a country, which is essential in a country.

2. As a Filipino citizen, I believe that we have our own obligation

and commitment in our country. It is right and just for us to know
about basic knowledge in government and they represent important
societal ideals such as fairness, dignity, equality, and respect.
Most significantly, these rights offer us power, allowing us to
speak up and confront government mistreatment. With the lack of
knowledge and political apathy, you will not be able to contribute
positively by gaining the information and experience necessary to
assert your rights and understand your obligations. The country
will be a chaotic condition because the people itself has no idea
or certain belief to the law and constitution oh how a person will
live in his or her state. A society will not run smoothly but
instead with problems and riots because of injustice and
unfairness. With the law and constitution, be applied to us people
living in our dwelling place, we will not be ignorant and
misunderstand the communication and context of each other.
