What was convened at Barasoain Church on Sep. 15, 1898 with about 50 delegates in attendance, initiating work on drafting a constitution?

• A. Malolos Congress
• B. Malolos Constitution
• C. Tejeros Convention
• D. Barasoain Assembly

Answer: (A)

This question tests knowledge of the moment when the revolutionary leadership moved to establish a constitutional framework. The gathering at Barasoain Church on September 15, 1898, with about 50 delegates, was the Malolos Congress. It began the work of drafting a constitution that would guide the new Philippine government under the revolutionary leadership, leading to the later creation of the Malolos Constitution.

The other items refer to related but distinct things: the Malolos Constitution is the document produced by this process, not the assembly itself; the Tejeros Convention occurred earlier, in 1897, to decide leadership for a rival revolutionary government; and Barasoain Assembly isn’t the standard name for this constitutional drafting gathering.
