Often called the "Freedom Constitution", this constitution was intended as a

transitional constitution to ensure democracy and the freedom of the people. The Freedom

Constitution provided for an orderly transfer of power while a Constitutional Commission was

drafting a permanent constitution. The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to

quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education

accessible to all. (5) Provide adult citizens, the disabled, and out-of-school youth with training in

civics, vocational efficiency, and other skills. The 1987 Constitution established a representative

democracy with power divided among three separate and independent branches of government:

the Executive, a bicameral Legislature, and the Judiciary. The Philippines is a democratic and

republican State. Sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from

them. (2) The State values the dignity of every human person and guarantees full respect for

human rights. (3) Civilian authority is, always, supreme over the military. The Constitution

contains the most important rules of our political system. It protects the rights of the people

inside the country, and it explains their obligations. Its goal is to secure the sovereignty of the

State and the integrity of the national territory.

A constitution is the basic law of a given country. It lays out the formal structure of the

state, defining the central governments powers and institutions. Moreover, it specifies the
relationship between the central government and other levels. Additionally, the constitution

establishes the rights of citizens and thereby creates limits on the government. Some essential

provisions are:

 a right to due process and equal protection of law.

 a right against searches and seizures without a warrant issued by a judge.

 a right to privacy.

 The right to freedom of speech and expression, freedom of the press, freedom of

assembly, and the right to petition.

 The free exercise of religion.

They are all important to me. They are sufficient to the needs of people according on

how they live. Most constitutional scholars agree that a constitution is never infallible or

immortal. Our very own 1987 Constitution is no exception. It lays out the formal structure of the

state, defining the central governments powers and institutions. Moreover, it specifies the

relationship between the central government and other levels. Additionally, the constitution

establishes the rights of citizens and thereby creates limits on the government.
