Structure US Constitution is simple and
brief (7,000 words) Does not spell out every word but
leaves it for future generations to interpret
Divided into three parts1. Preamble2. Articles (7)3. Amendments (27)
![Page 5: Social Studies Survey Pages 120-129 The Constitution Handbook](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e185503460f94b04709/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

influence the character of American Government
1. Popular Sovereignty2. Judicial Review3. Limited Government4. Federalism5. Separation of Powers6. Checks and Balances
![Page 6: Social Studies Survey Pages 120-129 The Constitution Handbook](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e185503460f94b04709/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Popular Sovereignty
Rule by the PeopleAuthority for government flows from the people and consent of the governed
![Page 7: Social Studies Survey Pages 120-129 The Constitution Handbook](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e185503460f94b04709/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Limited Government
Constitution limits the actions of government by specifically listing powers it does and does not have
![Page 8: Social Studies Survey Pages 120-129 The Constitution Handbook](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e185503460f94b04709/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: Social Studies Survey Pages 120-129 The Constitution Handbook](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e185503460f94b04709/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FederalismPower divided between
states and national government
Represented a middle ground-forge a union but limit central government
National government has the power to act for country as a whole, states have power over many local matters
![Page 10: Social Studies Survey Pages 120-129 The Constitution Handbook](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e185503460f94b04709/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Separation of Powers
Each branch has its own responsibilities to help one branch from taking over
![Page 11: Social Studies Survey Pages 120-129 The Constitution Handbook](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e185503460f94b04709/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
James Madison Separation of Powers
“But the great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department consists in giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others….Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place….If men were angels no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external or internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government, which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed: and in the next place, oblige to control itself.”

Checks and BalancesEach branch of government exercises some control over the others
A check is a control one branch has over another’s functions creating a balance of power
