Answer:
The six basic principles of the US constitution are popular sovereignty, Limited Government, Separation of Powers, Checks and balances, Judicial review, and federalism. These principles provided the framework for the Government to function efficiently. Popular sovereignty allowed people to choose their representatives, the separation of powers along with checks and balances has kept any one branch from growing too powerful, federalism had solved the power issue by sharing it between the federal and state government. The constitution has also limited the power of government and through judicial review, the court can decide if government decisions are constitutional or not. These principles have been providing the framework for the government over two hundred years.
