Sobre este audiolivro
The Constitution of the Philippines is the country's foundational legal and political text, most commonly referring to the 1987 Constitution drafted after the collapse of Ferdinand Marcos's authoritarian regime. Neither a conventional narrative nor a work of literary fiction, it employs the precise, declarative style of constitutional law to define popular sovereignty, establish the separation of powers, and regulate relations among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Its articles address the Bill of Rights, citizenship, suffrage, local government, accountability of public officers, the judiciary, national economy, social justice, education, and constitutional amendment. Read in its historical context, the document is both a blueprint for democratic government and a deliberate response to abuses of executive power. The credited author, the Constitutional Commission, was a representative body convened in 1986 under President Corazon C. Aquino to replace the 1973 Constitution and reconstruct the institutional foundations of the republic. Its members brought competing regional, political, legal, religious, and social perspectives to the drafting process. Their collective work reflects the difficult task of reconciling liberal rights, Filipino nationalism, social responsibility, and safeguards against renewed authoritarianism. The Constitution was subsequently approved by popular referendum on February 2, 1987. This book is essential reading for students of Philippine history, constitutional law, political theory, and Southeast Asian democratization. It rewards careful study not merely as a technical legal instrument but as a record of national recovery and an enduring argument about accountable government. Readers seeking to understand the Philippines' institutions, civic ideals, and continuing political debates will find it indispensable.
