Question: give me the summarized version of all articles in the 1973 philippine constitution
The 1973 Philippine Constitution, also known as the Marcos Constitution, happened during the Martial Law era and was significant for its centralization of power within the government. Here are its key features summarized: 1. Establishment of Parliamentary Government: The 1973 Constitution replaced the Presidential type of government into a Parliamentary one. The President ceased to be the head of the state; this role was transferred to the Prime Minister. 2. Centralized Power to the President: Whilst the role of the President was limited, the role of Ferdinand Marcos was expanded due to Martial Law. He was able to control all three branches of government: the executive, legislative, and judiciary. 3. Lower Voting Age: The Constitution lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 years. 4. Mandate for a New Society: The Constitution contained a command for the State to establish, maintain, and ensure adequate social services in the field of education, health, housing, employment, welfare, and social security to guarantee the enjoyment of the people. 5. Broadened the Bill of Rights: The Constitution added several provisions to the Bill of Rights, such as the right of workers to self-organization, collective bargaining and negotiations, and peaceful concerted activities including the right to strike in accordance with law. 6. Land Reform: The Constitution mandated the State to regulate the acquisition, ownership, use, enjoyment, and disposition of private property and equitably diffuse property ownership and profits. 7. Regional Autonomy: The Constitution introduced the policy of regional autonomy, which was an innovation in the Philippine governmental structure. 8. Term Limits: Abolished term limits for President, and other new provisions were made favoring Marcos dictatorship. Remember, these descriptions only offer a general overview and cannot replace a full reading of the 1973 Philippine Constitution and professional legal consultation.
