Which constitutional amendments did Quezon use to augment his power?

  • Bill of Rights

  • Foreign Policy

  • Education

  • Term Limits

Answer

The answer, Term Limits, refers to the amendments to the 1935 Constitution that removed term limits for the president, vice president, and senators, allowing President Manuel L. Quezon to extend his presidency beyond the original single six-year term. This manipulation of the constitution enabled Quezon to consolidate power and influence during his tenure from 1935 to 1944.
