Practice question: Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (RA 11054, Arts. I–V)

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

The Bangsamoro Government receives an express power under the Organic Law. Officials then claim both that every convenient national power automatically transfers to them and that implied authority may be exercised contrary to the Constitution. Which analysis follows Articles IV–V?
  1. The claim is correct because all powers are unlimited.
  2. No implied authority can ever exist.
  3. Express and necessarily implied powers operate within the constitutional and statutory allocation; convenience alone does not transfer every retained national power.
  4. The regional government's name determines all powers.
  5. A private agreement may eliminate the National Government's retained powers.
