What is Overview of the 1973 Philippine Constitution about?
The 1973 Philippine constitution was drafted under martial law after President Ferdinand Marcos manipulated the ongoing constitutional convention. The constitution was intended to introduce a parliamentary system but instead consolidated power under Marcos and functioned as an authoritarian presidential system. It abolished the senate and allowed Marcos to legislate on his own. The situation remained turbulent in the 1980s as Marcos amassed more power until opposition leader Benigno Aquino was assassinated
