Basics of the Constitution Popular Sovereignty Rule of Law Separation of Powers Checks And Balances Judicial Review Federalism

Rule of Law This means that the law is applied equally to every citizen in the US. Founding Fathers obviously dropped the ball on this one. Civil War Era (13th, 14th, 15th) and Progressive Era Amendment (19th) addressed Rule of Law deficiencies.

Separation of Powers Legislative Branch- headed by the Congress (House of Representives, Senate). They make all of the laws. The Legislative branch gets its powers from Article I of the Constitution. Executive Branch- Article II in the Constitution gives the President the power to enforce the laws of The Constitution. Judicial Branch- headed by the Supreme Court. They interpret the law. They get their power from Article III of the Constitution.

Judicial Review

Federalism Ruling power is divided between the national government and the state governments. Each of these levels of government have powers and responsibilities that are outlined in the US Constitution.

Federalism: Government Powers Enumerated Powers are given to the federal government in the Constitution (coin money, regulate trade, declare war, maintain a postal service, and maintain an army / navy). Implied Powers allows Congress to make laws that are necessary and proper for them to carry out expressed powers. This is also known as “The Elastic Clause”. (Air Force, National Bank, Military Draft)
