POLITICAL LAW

➢ is a branch of public law which deals with the

organization, and operations of the governmental
organs of the State and defines the relations of the
State with the inhabitants of its territory [People v.
Perfecto, 43 Phil. 887; Macariola v. Asuncion, 114

➢ POLITICAL comes from the Greek word “Polis”

(City/state) (eg. Republic of the Philippines –
modern times)

➢ It is a study about the “State” and when you

study about the state, you study about “group of
people” more or less with numerous tiny definite
proportions of territory having a government to
