    The document outlines 6 key principles of US government: rule of law, federalism, checks and balances, majority rule, protection of minority rights, and separation of powers. It provides definitions and constitutional citations for each principle. The rule of law means a government based on clear and fairly enforced laws where no one is above the law. Federalism divides power between central and state governments. Checks and balances allows each branch of government to limit the power of the others. Majority rule means decisions approved by over half will be accepted by all. Protection of minority rights shields the rights of the minority to express their views. Separation of powers splits government powers between independent branches to prevent consolidation.
