Balance between government and individual freedom is the constitutional principle supported by Amendment IV.
Option A
<u>Explanation</u>:
The fourth amendment is about securing people's rights and freedom, the amendment is in regard to the protection of people from the state's actions that are not based upon the reason and probable cause the crime or any other kind of legal offence has been committed. It is to maintain individual safety along with national safety as a whole.
Like after 9/11 National Security Agency (NSA) increased their efforts for public safety but without disturbing individual freedom. So, both these things are opposite to balance but are possible.
C) makes sure the branches do not overgrown their original purposes. Explanation:
Checks and balances, principle of government under which separate branches are empowered to prevent actions by other branches and are induced to share power. Checks and balances are applied primarily in constitutional governments.
The 27th Ammendment to the Constitution was first proposed in 1789 by the 1st Congress to the state to be ratified. It was proposed with other 10 ammendments to the Constitution but lacking the number of votes necessary, it did not pass like its others sister ammendments to become what is today known as the Bill of Rights. It took about more than 200 years until 1992, after a campaign was started by University of Texas at Austin student Joe Watson in 1982. This ammendment prohibited the increase or decrease of a congressman´s salary within a term in office. If there is to be a reduction or increment in the income perceived by a congress member, this must take effect only until the following terms office. The correct answer is D because of the immense time passage since the ammendment was proposed until it was adopted and ratified.
