Aristotle defined the constitution as a way of organizing the offices of the city state. In my opinion our current government does not observe the constitution according to Aristotle’s definition. Yes, our government have three main branches namely the legislative, executive and the judiciary. All of them have different purposes which are defined in our constitution. As a concerned citizen I noticed that the distribution of powers among the three branches of the government is violated. Our current president who also acts as the head of the executive branch is slowly manipulating the different sectors of the government. The current president controls almost all the important sectors of the government (legislative, military and executive). In addition the judiciary is under the threat of being manipulated by the president by appointing the next chief justice. What I’m trying to point out is that the constitution was made in order to organize the offices of the city state. Moreover, the proper implementation of the constitution is the equal distribution of powers to its respective branches and not under one ruler. -mark go
