There are five principles in the u. s. constitution. for each, give an example of a place in the constitution where this principle is expressed?

The 5 principles underlying the Constitutions are popular sovereignty, separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, and rule of law.

Popular sovereignty is found in the voting procedures to pass an amendment (3/4 of states needed and each have a chance to cast a vote), the direct voting measures to elect members tot he House of Representatives, and the 17th amendment (direct election of Senators) are all examples.

Separation of Powers is found in the creation of three branches of government: the executive branch, judicial branch, and legislative branch. Each branch has separate responsibilities and power. For example, the president wants to go to war but must request a declaration from Congress.

Checks and Balances is the principle that each branch can check the power of another branch. Veto power is an example of a check and balance. The president can veto a bill they are not in favor. Congress can overrule the veto with a winning 2/3 vote. The Supreme Court has review power of laws passed by Congress and therefore is able to check their power to create unconstitutional laws.

Federalism is the concept that the federal government ranks over the state governments but both have their own powers as well. The 10th amendment states any right not directly outlined in the Constitution as being a federal right would be reserved to the states. Education is an example of an institution which had been controlled by and instituted by states.

The Rule of Law means that the laws apply to everyone and no person is considered to powerful or wealthy to escape the laws proscribed for all citizens. This is shown in the Constitution by providing citizens the power to impeach an elected official if they are to violate the laws.
