=The 6 principles of the Constitution=

Summary
The Constitution has six principles, popular sovereignty, separation of powers, limited government, checks and balances, judicial review, and federalism. Popular soverignty meant that states were allowed to enter the Union and decide wether or not slaves are allowed in their state. Seperation of powers delt with the three branches of goverment, the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. The Legislative Branch makes the laws, the Executive Branch executes them, and the Judicial Branch interprets them. Limited government means that no one person has too much power like a king or a monarch would. The system of checks and balances ensures that the power the United States has is seperated among the three branchees. Judicial review allowes any case to be braught and discussed about in court. Federalism is a system of government where the power is divided between state governments and the cernteral government.

Popular sovereignty allows all the power and authority to come from the people. Limited government states that every power that the government owns is limited by law. The seperation of powers is the Legislative, Exacutive, and Judicial branches' right to govern. The system of checks and balances allowes each branch to have control over the others. Flexibility is the right the government has to change (amend) conditions in the Constitution over time. Last, but not least, there is Judicial review, it allowes any case to be presented in court as long as there is enough evidence to do so.
