Philippine Government And Constitution - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Constitution consists of rules which have not been integrated into a single, concrete form but are scattered in various sources. 

    • Written

    • Unwritten

    • Enacted

    Correct Answer
    A. Unwritten
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "unwritten." The explanation for this is that the constitution is not in a single, concrete form but is instead scattered in various sources. This suggests that the constitution is not written down in a single document but is instead made up of unwritten rules and principles that have been developed over time.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Constitution that is formally struck off at a definite time and place following a conscious or deliberate effort taken by a constituent body or ruler.

    • Conventional

    • Cumulative

    • Enacted

    Correct Answer
    A. Conventional
    Explanation
    The word "conventional" refers to something that is based on or in accordance with convention or general agreement. In the context of the given definition, a constitution that is formally struck off at a definite time and place following a conscious or deliberate effort is not a common or widely accepted practice. It is more likely to be based on convention or general agreement, hence the term "conventional" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Constitution that is the result of political evolution, not inaugurated at any specific time but changing by accretion rather than any systematic method

    • Written

    • Conventional

    • Cumulative

    Correct Answer
    A. Cumulative
    Explanation
    The term "cumulative" refers to something that is formed or increased by successive additions or gradual build-up. In the context of the given statement, it suggests that the constitution has evolved over time through the addition of various elements or changes, rather than being created all at once or through a systematic process. The constitution has been shaped by political evolution and has developed through the accumulation of modifications and amendments.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Constitution that can be amemded only by a formal or unusually difficult process.

    • Unwritten

    • Flexible

    • Rigid

    Correct Answer
    A. Rigid
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "rigid." A rigid constitution refers to a constitution that can only be amended through a formal or unusually difficult process. This means that changing or modifying the constitution requires a significant amount of effort and consensus among the governing body. Unlike a flexible constitution, which can be easily amended or adapted, a rigid constitution provides stability and ensures that fundamental principles and rights are not easily altered.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Constitution that can be changed by ordinary legislation

    • Flexible

    • Rigid

    • Amendment

    Correct Answer
    A. Flexible
    Explanation
    A constitution that can be changed by ordinary legislation is considered flexible. This means that the constitution can be modified or amended through regular legislative processes, allowing for adjustments and adaptations to be made as needed. This flexibility allows for the constitution to evolve with changing times and societal needs, ensuring that it remains relevant and effective. In contrast, a rigid constitution would have more stringent requirements for amendment, making it more difficult to change.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Isolated change in the constitution

    • Flexible

    • Rigid

    • Amendment

    Correct Answer
    A. Amendment
    Explanation
    An amendment refers to a change or addition made to the constitution. It allows for flexibility in adapting the constitution to the changing needs and values of society. Unlike a rigid constitution, which is difficult to modify, an amendment provides a mechanism for making isolated changes to the constitution without completely overhauling it. This ensures that the constitution remains relevant and responsive to the evolving circumstances and aspirations of the people.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Revamp of the entire instrument

    • Revision

    • Amendment

    • Definite

    Correct Answer
    A. Revision
    Explanation
    The word "revamp" means to renovate or improve something, usually by making significant changes. In this context, "revamp of the entire instrument" suggests a complete overhaul or transformation of the instrument. However, "revision" also means to make changes or corrections to something, typically in order to improve it. Therefore, "revision" is the correct answer as it aligns with the idea of making changes to the instrument, without specifying the extent or magnitude of those changes.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Does not confer rigths nor impose duties.

    • Powers

    • Preamble

    • Republicanism

    Correct Answer
    A. Preamble
    Explanation
    The preamble of a document, such as a constitution, is an introductory statement that sets out the goals and purposes of the document. It typically does not confer specific rights or impose duties on individuals or entities. Instead, it provides a broad overview of the principles and values that the document seeks to uphold. Therefore, the statement "does not confer rights nor impose duties" accurately describes the role of a preamble.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Adopts the generally accepted principles of international law.

    • Citizenship

    • Incorporate clause

    • Reinforced

    Correct Answer
    A. Incorporate clause
    Explanation
    The term "incorporate clause" refers to a provision in a legal document, such as a constitution or a treaty, that includes or integrates certain principles or rules from international law into the national legal system. By including an incorporate clause, a country agrees to adopt and apply the generally accepted principles of international law within its domestic legal framework. This helps to reinforce the country's commitment to international norms and standards, and ensures that its citizens are protected by the rights and obligations established at the international level.
