Storyboard Text
- THEREFORE, WHO CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHY CONSTITUTIONS ARE NECESSARY?
- AS I MENTIONED IN OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSION, CONSTITUTION THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF A NATION OR STATE AND IT ESTABLISHES THE CHARACTER AND BASIC PRINCIPLES OF OUR GOVERNMENT
- ME, SIR
- THAT IS CORRECT, AS IT IS ALSO THE SOURCE OF A GOVERNMENT'S SOVEREIGN POWERS, AS IT ESTABLISHES THE FIXED, FIRST, OR BASIC PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH THE GOVERNMENT IS ESTABLISHED
- AS PREVIOUSLY SAID, IT ESTABLISHES THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE SYSTEM OR TYPE OF GOVERNANCE THAT WILL EXIST INSIDE THE STATE
- AS A RESULT IT CREATES THE SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS AND DEFINES THEIR SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- IT ALSO PROMOTES PUBLIC WELFARE, WHICH INCLUDES THE PUBLIC'SSAFETY, PROSPERITY, HEALTH, AND HAPPINESS. IT PROTECTS THE RIGHTS TO FREEDOM OFEXPRESSION, PRESS AND RELIGION
- IS THERE ANYONE WHO HAS QUESTIONS?
- SIR, I HAVE A QUESTION. WAS THIS CONSTITUTION WRITTEN BY A PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL?
- IS THERE ANYONE WHO STILL HAS A QUESTION?
- THE CONSTITUTION IS WRITTEN BY A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, WHICH IS A BODY ASSEMBLED FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF FRAMING OR WRITING A CONSTITUTION, REVISING AN EXISTING CONSTITUTION, OR PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO IT. THESE ARE THEN SUBMITTED TO A PLEBISCITE FOR RATIFICATION, DURING WHICH THE PEOPLE DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ACCEPTABLE OR NOT. THE GOVERNMENT THEN CONSIDERS AND FOLLOWS UP ON THE RESULTS.
- ME, SIR
- GOOD QUESTION
- WELL, CONSTITUTIONS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS WRITTEN OR UNWRITTEN, CUMULATIVE OR ENACTED, RIGID OR FLEXIBLE AND THE 1987 PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION IS A WRITTEN, ENACTED, AND RIGID CONSTITUTION.
- ARE CONSTITUTIONS WRITTEN OR UNWRITTEN, SIR?
- OUR PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION IS DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS: THE CONSTITUTION OF GOVERNMENT, WHICH DEFINES THE GOVERNMENT'S FRAMEWORK,THE CONSTITUTION OF LIBERTY, WHICH ENUMERATES THE PEOPLE'S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, AND LASTLY, THE CONSTITUTION OF SOVEREIGNTY, WHICH INDICATES THE MANNER AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION
- ALRIGHT, THAT IS ALL FOR TODAY, THANK YOU EVERYONE
- THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR TODAY. DOES ANYONE STILL HAVE A QUESTION?
- NONE, SIR
