Commonwealth Acts (C.A.) are the laws enacted by the National Assembly during the Philippine Commonwealth era (1935–1946). This was a crucial transitional period before the Philippines gained full independence, and these statutes played a key role in establishing the early foundations of the country's legal and governmental systems.
Commonwealth Acts represent a distinct historical period, bridging the gap between early legislative Acts and the modern era of Republic Acts. Many of these foundational laws remain in force or have influenced subsequent legislation.
