Final answer:
The Great Compromise balanced state representation in Congress with a bicameral legislature, Federalism balanced central and state government powers, the Three-Fifths Compromise related to slave population counting for representation, and the Electoral College was established to elect the chief executive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Matching the government principles to their descriptions:
- Created a mechanism of choosing the chief executive - Electoral College
- Balanced states’ representation in Congress - Great Compromise
- Balanced the powers of central and state governments - Federalism
- Considered the slave population of states for representation in Congress - Three-Fifths Compromise
These principles played crucial roles in the shaping of the American government. The Great Compromise ensured a bicameral legislature with the Senate granting equal representation for states, and the House of Representatives based on population. The Federalism system was a mix of national and state powers, ensuring a balance that enabled different layers of government to coexist. The Three-Fifths Compromise allowed a partial inclusion of the slave population for determining state representation in Congress. Lastly, the Electoral College was established as a constitutional safeguard to elect the president, by electors rather than a direct popular vote.
