In order to expedite social, economic, development, public
health, cultural, and educational programmes and facilitate other
affairs relating to public welfare with the cooperation of the
people according to local needs, the administration of each
village, division, city, municipality, and province will be
supervised by a council to be named the Village, Division, City,

of election, the jurisdiction of these councils, the hierarchy of
their authority, will be determined by law, in such a way as to
preserve national unity, territorial integrity, the system of the
