SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF THE CONSTITUTION
The Framers of the Constitution contracted a new system of Government. Seven principles supported their efforts. To picture how these principle work, imagine seven building blocks. Together they form the foundation of the United States Constitution. In the pages that follow you will find the definitions and main ideas of the principles shown below:
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION

I.-Republicanism
II.- Separation of power
III.- Limited Government
IV-Popular sovereignty
V.-Federalism
VI.-Check & Balances
VII.-Individual Rights.

I.- Popular Sovereignty
Who gives the Government its power? We the people of the United States. . . establish this Constitution for the United States of America. These words from the Preamble, or introduction, to the Constitution clearly spell out the source of the Governments power. The American form of government comes from a school of political thought called classical liberalism, which emphasized freedom, democracy, and the importance of the individuals. The Constitutions rest on the idea of popular sovereignty.

II.- Republicanism
How are peoples views Represented in Government? The Framers of the Constitution wanted the people to have a voice in Government. The Framers also feared that public opinion might stand in a way of sound decision making. To solve this problems, they looked to republicanism as a model of Government. Republicanism is based on the belief: The people exercise their power by voting for their political representatives. According to the Framers, these lawmakers played the key role in making a republican government work. Article 4, Section 4, of the Constitution also calls for every State to have a republican form of Government . Civic Republicanism is the idea that citizens stay informed about politics and participate in the process, ( In the republican government, voting citizens make their voice heard at the polls. The power of the ballot prompts candidates to listen to peoples concerns )

III.- Federalism
How is Power Shared ?
The Framers wanted the states and the nation to become partners in governing. To build cooperation, the Framers turned to Federalism. Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided between a central government and a smaller political units, such as states. In the early years of the United States, Federalism was closely related to dual sovereignty, the idea that the powers of the federal government and the states were clearly defined, and each had exclusive power over their own spheres with little overlap. This view of federalism led to states rights conflicts, which were contributing factors in the Civil War. The Framers used Federalism to structure the Constitution. The Constitution assigns certain power to the national government. These are delegated powers .Powers kept by the states are reserved powers. Powers shared oe exercised by national and state governments are known as concurrent powers
Federalism


I. Powers delegated III. Shared Powers II. Powers reserved
to the national Government. ( Concurrent ) for the State Governments

The overlapping spheres of power bind the American people together.

IV.- Separation of Powers
How is Power divided? The Framers were concerned that too much power might fall into the hand off a single group. To avoid this problem, they built the idea of Separation of Powers into the Constitution. This principle means the division of basic roles into branches. No one branch is given all the power. Articles 1. 2 and 3 of the Constitution detail how powers are split among the three branches.
