The Freedom Constitution, issued by Cory Aquino in 1986 following the EDSA Revolution, was a provisional constitution that aimed to restore democratic governance in the Philippines after years of martial law under Ferdinand Marcos. It emphasized civil liberties, human rights, and the sovereignty of the Filipino people. The document served as a temporary framework until a more permanent constitution could be drafted and ratified, ultimately leading to the 1987 Constitution, which further enshrined democratic principles and institutions.
