- 3. Article 2: Declaration of Principles and State Policies Nature: This portion of our constitution may be called the basic political creed of the nation. 1.) It lays down the fundamental principles and policies the government is committed to observe and prescribes the fundamental obligation of the government, particularly the legislative and executive departments as its policy-determining organs. 2.)The enforcement of the duties consequently rests with the executive and legislative departments, and the electorate cannot demand their enforcement through the courts. The remedy is political. It is incumbent on the people to demand the fulfilment these government duties through the exercise of the right of suffrage. But indirectly, some of these principles may guide the courts in determining the validity of statutes or executive acts in justiciable cases.
