6. Прочитайте, на каких шести принципах была создана конституция США, и назовите
их.
Since the people
give government its power, government itself is restrained to the power
given to it by them. In other words the US government doesn’t derive its power from itself. It must
follow its own laws and it can only act using powers given to it by the people.
In order to protect citizens, the constitution sets up the system of government with balanced
powers to make compromise and consensus necessary. This system limits the duties of each branch
and separates powers for each branch. Basically, each branch of government has a certain number of
checks it can use to ensure the other branches do not become too powerful.
The US Government is divided into three branches so that no one branch has all the power.
Each branch has its own purpose: to make the laws, execute the laws and to interpret the laws.
This principle is one of the most complicated foundations of the US. This is the idea that the
central government doesn’t control all the power in the nation. States also have powers reserved to
them. Central government exercises exclusively such powers as defence and matters of state security,
whereas the regions exercise power over such things as planning, regional development and taxation.
This principle states that the source of governmental power lies with the people. The
Government of the United States is truly national in character and should be for the benefit of its
citizens. If the Government
is not protecting the people, it should be dissolved.
This power allows the Supreme Court to decide whether acts and laws are unconstitutional.
This was established with Marbury v. Madisonin 1803.
