The six principle of the Constitution are Popular Sovereignty, Limited Government, Checks and Balances, Separation of Powers, Republicanism, and Federalism.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Popular Sovereignty: The citizens of the country are in charge of the government and how it is run.
  2. Limited Government: How much power the government can have is decided on by a majority of the population.
  3. Checks and Balances: This system was designed to maintain same level of power in all branch of the government.
  4. Separation of powers: This allows all the government to focus on one job only and are separated into the Legislative, Executive and Judicial.
  5. Republicanism: This is a government of representatives and officials elected by the people and gives people the power.
  6. Federalism: The idea is to split political power between a large group (Federal/ National government) and smaller groups (state government).
