Early filipinos enjoyed a high standard of government |

Answer» Answer: This statement, "Early Filipinos enjoyed a high standard of government", is a correct statement so if this a true and false question, the answer is true. On the other hand if the requirement is a reason as to why? they enjoyed this government then its given below. Explanation: During that time period the relationship between the ruler and those ruled by him was a simple one in nature. It was simple because they did things for each other, the ruler protected the people and in return they would support his decisions, like going to war or SETTLING down for peace. They would serve him. Their government was of high standard. This is supported by the theory of social contract which states that rulers owe their right to rule, on the circumstances of the consent of those ruled by him, i.e. the general public. Consequently, if a ruler doesn't ABIDE by the rules then the public has the right to remove their ruler. This is what happened in that time period. Datus (during that time period this is used as a TITLE for rulers like monarchs or chief-man) belonged to the upper class but COULD be removed by the lower class people. ANOTHER important fact is that women had the right to be included in the voting, they could also become the Datu( obviously based on merit)
