SALCEDO,ADRIAN ADOR M.

BSBA 2-3
MIDTERM EXAMINATION

1.PREAMBLE

The preamble to the Constitution is an introduction to the document. You can think of it like a book
summary on the back of a book that shows you what you should expect from reading the full book.
The preamble states the purpose of the Constitution and the intention of the entire document full of
laws. We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to build a just and
humane society and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote
the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity
the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice,
freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution.

2.NATIONAL TERRITORY

The national territory comprises the Philippine archipelago, with all the islands and waters embraced
therein, and all other territories over which the Philippines has sovereignty or jurisdiction, consisting
of its terrestrial, fluvial and aerial domains, including its territorial sea, the seabed, the subsoil, the
insular shelves, and other submarine areas. The waters around, between, and connecting the islands
of the archipelago, regardless of their breadth and dimensions, form part of the internal waters of the
Philippines.

3.BILLS OF RIGHTS

It establishes the relationship of the individual to the State and defines the rights of the individual by
limiting the lawful powers of the State. It is one of the most important political achievements of the
Filipinos.

The concept of a Bill of Rights, as such, is essentially an occidental prod-uct. For a number of centuries
in British, French, and American political thought, there has grown the conviction that the rights of the
individual must be preserved and safeguarded, not through the authority of an individual, not through
membership in a particular group or party, not through reliance upon force of arms, but rather
through the accepted processes of declared constitutional law.
