The four principles on the Consitution is Founded
*Checks and Balances
-Each branch of government has the power to limit the actions of the other two.
*Separation of Powers
-The government's power is divided among three branches: legislative, The Executive, and The Judicial Branches
*Limited Government
-The government has only the powers that the Constitution gives it.
*Popular Sovereignty
-The people are the only source of government's power.
How does the Consitution incorporate these principles into a plan for government?
*Checks and Balances: No one branch can become so powerful in a democracy as to destroy this system.
*Separation of Powers:Prevents abuse of power and safeguards our freedom.
*Limited Government: These laws create boundaries beyond which the government is not allowed to go and powers delegated to it are the only powers it has.
*Popular Sovereignty:Allows us to elect who we want to represent us.
Balance of power between the federal and state governments
