    Evolution of the PH

    Constitution
    • The constitution is defined as a
    set of fundamental principles or
    established precedents
    according to which a state or other
    organization is governed, thus, the
    word itself means to be a
    part of a whole, the coming
    together of distinct entities into
    one group, with the same
    principles
    and ideals. These principles define
    the nature and extent of
    government.
    • The Constitution of the
    Philippines, the supreme law of the
    Republic of the Philippines, has
    been in effect since 1987. There
    were only three other constitutions
    that have effectively
    governed the country: the 1935
    Commonwealth Constitution, the
    1973 Constitution, and the
    1986 Freedom Constitution.
    However, there were earlier
    constitutions attempted by
    Filipinos in
    the struggle to break free from the
    colonial yoke.
