1. Popular Sovereignty: The government receives its authority from the People, deciding for themselves who will represent them. 2. Limited Government: The government is limited to the power given to it by the Constitution. 3. Separation of Powers: The power of the national government is separated into three independent branches: Legislative, that makes the laws; Executive: that enforces the laws, and Judicial: that judges the laws. 4. Checks and Balances: Each branch of the national government has the ability to control or amend the power of the other two branches. 5. Judicial Review: The Judicial branch has the power of analyzing and examining a statute, treaty or administrative regulation for constitutionality or consistency with a higher law. 6. Federalism: It is a system of government in which the power is shared between the federal or national government and the state governments. The Constitution provide both Delegated powers, Concurrent powers, Implied powers, and Reserved powers.
