Good morning, everyone. Today we will be discussing what the constitution is.

THE PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION

▪A constitution is defined as the fundamental

law of a nation or state.

▪It establishes the character and basic

principles of the government.

The United Kingdom is an example of an uncodified constitution. We also have the Constitution of India, which is the longest written constitution, and the Constitution of Monaco, which is the shortest.

THE PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION

For our group, we will talk about the purpose of a constitution and the writing of it.

So the purpose of constitution are the following:

❑ It prescribes the framework of the system or the kind of government that will exist in the state.

❑ It creates the different departments and specifies their respective functions and duties.

❑ It is the source of the sovereign powers of a government by establishing the fixed, first or basic principles on which the government is founded.

❑ It promotes public welfare, which involves the safety, prosperity, health, and happiness of the people.

So the writing of constitution must be:

❑ written by a constitutional convention

❑ the draft written constitution must be submitted to plebiscite for ratification

❑ the results must be considered and followed by the government

Keep in mind that this is not the same as a referendum, in which a piece of legislation enacted by a legislative body is presented to the public for a vote. However, the results may be ignored by the state.
