______________________________________________________________________

1. What is the importance of studying the evolution of the Philippine Constitution?

Understanding the evolution of the Philippine Constitution is like learning the

history of your own home. It explains why the rules are the way they are, how your rights came
to be, and the government's role. Seeing how it has adapted over time shows the possibility of
future changes for the better. By studying its development, you connect with Filipino history and
become a more informed citizen who can actively participate in shaping the country's future.
The Constitution isn't set in stone. By seeing how it has adapted over time, you can understand
how it can be changed for the better in the future.

2. How does our 1987 Constitution impact its citizens and the world today?
The 1987 Philippine Constitution serves as a blueprint for Filipino life. It impacts
Filipinos today by guaranteeing their rights and establishing a democratic government. It aims
for equal opportunity and a strong national identity. On the world stage, the Philippines is seen
as a nation that fought for democracy and continues to uphold human rights. However, some
argue the Constitution limits foreign investment, and debates exist about amending it to address
this.
 3. What is the purpose of a constitution in a state or a country?

Think of a constitution as a country's operating system. It sets the basic rules for
how everything works. It creates a government with different parts, like a legislature to
make laws, an executive to enforce them, and judges to settle disputes. It also protects
citizens' freedoms and limits what the government can do. The system can even be
updated if needed, following a set of rules to keep things running smoothly.

4. How can a country progress or survived without a constitution?

Imagine a country like a game without any rules. It would be messy! A
constitution is like the rulebook. Without it, things would be confusing, unfair, and difficult to plan
for. Businesses wouldn't know what to expect, and leaders could make up their own rules
whenever they wanted. This makes progress difficult and can even lead to conflict. A
constitution keeps things fair and stable, making it easier for a country to move forward.
