The Malolos Constitution was the product of which assembly?

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

Answer: (A)

A constitution is formed by a formal representative body that drafts and approves the framework for a government. The Malolos Constitution came from the Malolos Congress, the elected assembly of the Philippine revolutionary government, which met in Malolos, Bulacan (at Barasoain Church) in 1898–1899. This body debated and adopted the document that established the First Philippine Republic, outlining its structure, powers, and rights. The Tejeros Convention was about choosing leaders at a different point in the revolution and did not draft this constitution; Katipunan is the secret society behind the rebellion, not a constitutional assembly; Barasoain Church Assembly refers to the venue, not the official name of the governing body that produced the constitution. So the Malolos Congress is the assembly that produced the Malolos Constitution.
