The Principles of the Constitution

Popular Sovereignty The belief that the government is given consent to rule by the people. In the Preamble the Constitution starts with, “We the People” in bold letters. Just look at the top of the page.

Social Contract The unwritten law of the land, so to speak, that people give some of their rights away in order to be protected by the government.

Aspects of the Constitution Federal Government Executive Branch Legislative Branch Judicial Branch Three Branches of Government

Federal and State powers Elastic Clause authorizes Congress to “make all laws which shall be necessary and proper” for carrying out its duties under the Constitution. Implied Powers are not written because of the necessary and proper clause. Supremacy Clause says the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Delegated Powers are given to the federal government. Reserved Powers are reserved for the states. Concurrent Powers are shared between national and state governments. Full Faith and Credit Clause requires states to respect each others laws.
