The Seven Pillars of the Constitution Assignment (50 points)

The Constitution is founded on seven basic principles: Popular Sovereignty, Limited Government, Federalism, Judicial Review, Checks and Balances, Separation of Powers and Flexibility. By examining the Constitution, you can find Clauses that exemplify all of these principles. See the Chart below for examples.

Your Assignment is to recreate the chart below, but to fill in each section will at least 5 Clauses from the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You must fill the chart in using the same format below: The Article, Section and Clause numbers and a brief description of what the Clause states. You may NOT use the ones I use in the example below.

I suggest typing the project, but if you chose to write it, remember, WHAT I CAN”T READ WILL BE MARKED WRONG!

Example:
