Popular SovereigntyThe people are the
only source of any and all government in the United States.
“We the people of the United States… do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.”

Limited GovernmentThe government may only do those things that the people give it power to do.
Constitutionalism- government must be conducted according to constitutional principles.
Rule of Law- Government and its officers are always subject to the law.

Separation of PowersThe constitution
distributes the power of the National government into the Congress, the President, and the Courts.
This was intended to create a stronger government.

Separation Powers
Legislative = Lawmaking
Executive = Execute, enforces and administers the law.
Judicial = interpret and apply the laws.

Checks and BalancesThe Constitution
gives to each branch it’s own field of governmental authority.
The three branches of government are not entirely separated or independent of each other… they are tied together by a system of checks and balances.

Judicial ReviewThe power of the
courts to determine whether what government does is in accord with what the Constitution provides.
The courts may declare a law unconstitutional (or illegal) if they feel it does not reflect the Constitution.
Established Marbury v. Madison.
