<em>The founding ideals and principles are represented in the United States Constitution in different ways. </em>
The founding ideals are included in the Constitution in that this is based in the natural rights of people, the idea of the government in the hands of the people, and the separation of powers in the nation.
The principle of self-government is one of the most important elements of the Constitution. The Founding Fathers had the intention of having local faculties, states faculties and national faculties to govern the country.
The basic principles of the Constitution are, the states are equal, there are three branches of the government(executive, legislative, and judicial), all the citizens are equal before the law, the Constitution can be modified to change the system of government, and the Constitution is the supreme law.
