Constitutional Law . Administrative Law . Law on Public Officers . Election Laws . Local Government . Public International Law Aabwons * The Constitution is the Fundamental Law of the land; it is where all the other laws are derived from. It is important to know the basic principles laid down by the Constitution itself so that we may have a certain familiarity of its provisions since all laws created by the Republic of the Philippines must conform to it. * The study of Constitution is basically broken up into two. We have the Political aspect, where all the main branches of the Government are studied including certain governmental agencies, its powers and limitations. The second part is the Bill of Rights aspect, where all our rights are broken down individually for our clear understanding. Chapter II — Political law Volun, time Every year New ig, 1 arse.
