What is the name of the provisional constitution adopted in 1986?

• A. Freedom Constitution
• B. 1987 Constitution
• C. Malolos Constitution
• D. 1973 Constitution

Answer: (A)

A provisional constitution is a temporary charter used to govern during a transition to a new constitutional order. In the Philippines, after the People Power Revolution of 1986, a temporary charter known as the Freedom Constitution was issued to stabilize the country while a new framework was prepared. It was promulgated in 1986 and served as the bridge to the drafting and adoption of the 1987 Constitution, which is the current charter.

The other options refer to different documents from other times: the Malolos Constitution from 1899, the 1973 Constitution from the Marcos era, and the 1987 Constitution which followed the transition and is now in force.
