Question: summarize the articles stated in the 1973 philippine constitution
I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, but the current governing Constitution in the Philippines is the 1987 Constitution. The 1973 constitution was heavily shaped during the Marcos era and was superseded by the 1987 constitution after the People Power Revolution. However, I'll still provide a broad outline of the 1973 constitution: 1. Article I, The National Territory: This lists down the national territories and the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines. 2. Article II, Declaration of Principles and State Policies: Outlines the principles and state policies related to economics, social justice, national unity, parental responsibilities, rights of the people, and national identity. 3. Article III, Bill of Rights: Defines the basic rights of the citizens of the Philippines, like freedom of speech and religion, right to due process, right against unreasonable searches and seizures, etc. 4. Article IV, Citizenship: Determines who are recognized as citizens of the Philippines. 5. Article V, Duties and Obligations of Citizens: Lists down the responsibilities of the citizens of the Philippines. 6. Article VI, Suffrage: Discusses the rights pertaining to voting. 7. Article VII, The President: Establishes the executive branch of government and the powers of the presidency. 8. Article VIII, The National Assembly: Discusses the structure, powers, and members of the legislative branch of government. 9. Article IX, Constitutional Commissions: Discusses the specific constitutional bodies of the government. 10. Article X, Local Government: Provides for the system of local government. 11. Article XI, Accountabilities of Public Officers: Deals with the responsibilities of public officials and the public trust. 12. Article XII, The National Economy and Patrimony: Outlines the goals and guidelines of the national economy. 13. Article XIII, Social Justice: Stresses the importance of human rights, women's rights, and the rights of indigenous people, among other things. 14. Article XIV, Education, Science and Technology, Arts, Culture, and Sports: Discusses policies related to education, science, technology, arts, culture, and sports. 15. Article XV, General Provisions: Discusses the legal provisions applying to the 1973 Constitution. 16. Article XVI, Amendments: Discusses the procedure for amending the Constitution. This is a very broad and simplified summary. The actual 1973 Constitution contained more detailed provisions and is historically significant within the context of the Philippines.
