In Article 2 Section 1 of the Philippines Constitution, it states that there is sovereignty in all people. The article also states that the country is a democratic and republican state.
Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution declares The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. The wording was later revised, but still established the same power.
The Amendments to the US Constitution do not have articles or sections. Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution gives all legislative powers to a Congress, made up of a Senate and a House of Representatives.
Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1:"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment".
Section five article six of the Philippine constitution is the separation of the government from religion. What this means is the government can not interfere with the religious practices of the people in their homes or private educational facilities.
article 4 i forget which section, sorry.
Section 1. The Philippines is a democratic and republican state. Sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them.
The U.S. Constitution was written so that the people elect the president. Article II, Section 1 created the Electoral College and the initial method of electing presidents. Amendment XII (1804) revised the election process of the president and vice president. Since then, we have been using that process (states' electors vote for president based on states' popular votes).
