The key takeaways are that a constitution establishes the fundamental rules and distribution of powers of a government. Citizens have both rights and corresponding duties to their nation, such as being loyal, defending the state, and upholding the law.

A constitution is defined as the written instrument that establishes, limits, and distributes the fundamental powers of government among its branches for exercising sovereignty for the benefit of the people.

Citizens of the Philippines include those who were citizens at the time of the constitution's adoption, those with Filipino parents, those born to Filipino mothers before 1973, and those who are naturalized.
