Corazon Aquino appointed a commission to write a new constitution that restored the bicameral Congress that had been abolished by Marcos; it was ratified by a landslide vote. Aquino held elections for the new Congress and broke up the economic monopolies held by Marcos’s allies. However, she failed to undertake fundamental economic or social reforms.
