Article VI of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states that the legislative power is vested in the Congress of the Philippines, consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives
Legislative power involves the authority to make laws and subsequently amend or repeal them, with the peculiar task of prescribing general rules for the government of society
Laws, as written enactments of the legislature, govern the relations among people and between them and the government and its agencies
Through laws, the legislature defines citizens' rights and duties, imposes taxes, appropriates funds, defines crimes and punishments, creates and abolishes government offices, and regulates human conduct and property use for the common good
The legislative power of Congress in the Philippines is plenary or general, subject only to specific limitations in the Constitution, and broader than that of the American Congress
Advantages of bicameralism in the Philippine legislative system include serving as a check on hasty legislation, providing representation for regional and national interests, and offering a traditional form of legislative body tested through human experience
Disadvantages of bicameralism include potential duplication of efforts, serious deadlocks in enacting important measures, higher costs compared to a unicameral legislature, and the possibility of only wealthy individuals being able to afford senatorial elections
The principle of separation of powers in the Philippine government divides powers into legislative, executive, and judicial branches to prevent encroachment and ensure a system of checks and balances
Political science is the systematic study of the state and government, derived from the Greek word "polis" meaning a city or sovereign state, and the Latin word "scire" meaning "to know"
Political science deals with the association of human beings into a "body politic," or a political community organized under government and law
The scope of political science includes political theory, public law, public administration, and specialized subjects like geography, sociology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, statistics, logic, and jurisprudence
Attachment is a strong reciprocal emotional bond between an infant and a primary caregiver
Political theory covers the origin, form, behavior, and purposes of the state, while public law focuses on the organization of governments, limitations on government authority, powers and duties of governmental offices, and obligations of one state to another
Public administration studies the methods and techniques used in managing state affairs by the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government
Schaffer and Emerson's 1964 study on attachment:
Aim: identify stages of attachment / find a pattern in the development of an attachment between infants and parents
Participants: 60 babies from Glasgow
Procedure: analysed interactions between infants and carers
Findings: babies of parents/carers with 'sensitive responsiveness' were more likely to have formed an attachment
Political science shares common interests with other disciplines like history, economics, geography, sociology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, statistics, logic, and jurisprudence
Freud's superego is the moral component of the psyche, representing internalized societal values and standards
The advantages and disadvantages of a bicameral legislature are discussed in a page from a textbook on the Philippine Constitution
Geopolitics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, statistics, logic, and jurisprudence all play a role in political science by contributing to the understanding of social control, governmental authority, human behavior, and more

Under the Constitution, there is no absolute separation among the three principal organs of government, allowing for a system of checks and balances
