Chapter 3: The Constitution Opener

These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. -Thomas Jefferson (1801)

Essential Question How has the Constitution lasted through changing times?

Guiding Questions Section 1: Basic Principles What are the six main principles on which the Constitution is based? The Constitution is based upon popular sovereignty, limited government, separation of powers, checks and balances, judicial review, and federalism.

Guiding Questions Section 2: Formal Amendment Process How has the Constitution been amended through the formal amendment process? A two-third majority of Congress has proposed 27 amendments that have been subsequently ratified by the required three-fourths of the states.

Guiding Questions Section 3: Change by Other Means How have the day-to-day workings of government affected how we interpret the Constitution? The development of customs and the influence of political parties have combined with the efforts of the three branches of government to expand and clarify how the Constitution is interpreted.
