There are Seven Principles of the Constitution the first one I´m going to tell you about is Popular Sovereignty. Popular Sovereignty is basically ¨we the people¨ and our constitution begins with the idea of popular sovereignty. The founding fathers began the U.S constitution with this important principle which means that power, begins with people. This principle is best reflected in the preamble, Article 1 and in amendment 9. Popular sovereignty is the thought that the average citizen can be trusted to make important decisions that affect his or her´s life and the lives of other Americans. Throughout American history, more and more citizens were permitted to participate in the democratic process.

The second one is federalism. The founders looked to their local state government to best govern over their own local needs. At the same time they recognized the need for a strong, national government that would protect them and help regulate their commerce. The solution was the balance of federalism. Federalism is the sharing of powers between the state government and the national government. When the Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution, one of their challenges was creating a strong national government, which at the same time respected the rights of the state governments. how did they ensure that one did not trample onto the other? the Constitution states that the federal government has specific powers such as coining money or depending the country.

Third one is the Republicanism. Another idea that the Farmers of the Constitution agreed upon was the idea that citizens should be able to elect their leaders. In the republic, the citizens vote to what or whom they think will be best for the general public good. This principle of the Constitution is not to be confused with the Republican political party, which shares a similar name. to help remember what republicanism means, take the first 3 letters of the word R-E-P and use it to remind yourself of the word REPRESENTATIVE. Voters choose representative to exercise the power that they give to them. Republicanism is best found in the preamble and in the article 1 of the constitution.

The principle of the U.S. Constitution divided powers into three separate groups or branches of government. The reason the farmers chose this was because they wanted to ensure that no one person or group of people had too much power. Their idea originated from the way the English government had developed into three separate groups: the monarchy, the house of the lords and the house of commons. Instead the U.S. Constitution divides power into the executive branch, the legislative branch and the judicial branch. Each branch has its own unique responsibilities and powers, including powers over the other branches. These branches are described in Article 1,2 and 3.
