Classify the Philippines by how much power is held. Does the country have a constitution that limits government power? If government power is not limited, explain whether the system is authoritarian or totalitarian.

The Government of the Philippines (Filipino: Pamahalaan ng Pilipinas) is the national government of the Philippines. It is governed as unitary state under a presidential representative and democratic and a constitutional republic where the President function as both the head of state and the head of government of the country within a pluriform multi-party system.

The government has three interdependent branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch. The powers of the branches are vested by the Constitution of the Philippines in the following: Legislative power is vested in the two-chamber Congress of the Philippines-the Senate is the upper chamber and the House of Representatives is the lower chamber.

Executive power is exercised by the government under the leadership of the President. Judicial power is vested in the courts with the Supreme Court of the Philippines as the highest judicial body.

If government power is not limited becomes totalitarian or a dictatorship. Rodrigo Duterte, the president of the Philippines is authoritarian according to how he is ruling the country.

But many governments started being authoritarian and then became totalitarian.
