The Philippine Constitution has undergone several changes and revisions since its inception. The first constitution of the Philippines was the 1899 Malolos Constitution, which was drafted by the revolutionary government of Emilio Aguinaldo during the Philippine Revolution against Spain. The Malolos Constitution established a republican form of government with separation of powers, a bill of rights, and a unicameral legislature. However, it was short-lived as the United States annexed the Philippines after defeating Spain in the Spanish-American War.


The second constitution of the Philippines was the 1935 Constitution, which was drafted by a constitutional convention in 1934 and ratified by a plebiscite in 1935. The 1935 Constitution was based on the principles of the U.S. Constitution and established a presidential system of government with a bicameral legislature and an independent judiciary. It also provided for a ten-year transition period to full independence from the United States, which was interrupted by the Japanese occupation during World War II.


The third constitution of the Philippines was the 1943 Constitution, which was drafted by a preparatory committee on Philippine independence appointed by the Japanese-sponsored puppet government of Jose P. Laurel during World War II. The 1943 Constitution maintained a presidential system of government with a unicameral legislature and an independent judiciary. It also declared the Philippines as an independent republic and renounced all ties with any foreign power. However, it was not recognized by the United States and the Filipino guerrillas who fought against the Japanese invaders.


The fourth constitution of the Philippines was the 1973 Constitution, which was drafted by a constitutional convention in 1971 and deemed ratified by citizens' assemblies in 1973. The 1973 Constitution replaced the presidential system with a parliamentary system of government with a unicameral legislature and a constitutional authoritarianism under President Ferdinand Marcos. It also abolished the bill of rights and granted Marcos sweeping powers to amend or revise the constitution, declare martial law, and create a new society. The 1973 Constitution was amended several times to extend Marcos' term, lift martial law, and restore some civil liberties.


The fifth and current constitution of the Philippines is the 1987 Constitution, which was drafted by a constitutional commission in 1986 and ratified by a plebiscite in 1987[^1^]. The 1987 Constitution restored the presidential system of government with a bicameral legislature and an independent judiciary. It also reinstated the bill of rights and added provisions on social justice, human rights, national economy, local government, accountability, and constitutional commissions. The 1987 Constitution was enacted after the People Power Revolution that ousted Marcos and installed Corazon Aquino as president.
