Which of the Seven rinciples of the constitution describes the sharing of powers between the national and stat
813066
Well, there are seven articles of the US constitution, so I imagine that you want to know which article talks about sharing of powers:\n\nI think Article I is the best answer.  It enumerates the powers of the federal legislature and also enumerates some limitations on the states.\n\nArticle VII generally discusses the states (full faith and credit, admission of new states), but it doesn't discuss power-sharing.\n\nTake a look at the Constitution, it's a pretty short document.  Also, read the Wikipedia article, it provides some good background about what's going on in each section.

Constitutional law is the study of foundational laws that govern the scope of powers and authority of various bodies in relation to the creation and execution of other laws by a government. A constitution binds a government or governments, limiting the contexts in which rules may be created, interpreted and force may be applied. Constitutions may reference various bodies, including organizations, associations, stateless peoples and nation-states.\n\nMost commonly constitutional law is the law of these foundational laws, customs, and constitution a conventions in regard to nation-states. Not all nation-states have constitutions, though all such states have a jus commune, or law of the land, that may consist of a variety of imperative and consensual rules, that may be customary law, oral law and written law that apply in the various jurisdictions of such state. Of those nation-states that do have constitutions, not all are considered strictly written constitutions, as the laws that govern such issues may not be consolidated into one single constitution document or instrument. The constitutional law may be the fact of interpreting a variety of text which may also be informed by history, custom and unwritten constitutional conventions . Compare, for example, the written Constitution of the United States with British constitutional law, which arises from multiple sources including Magna Carta, the common law, and other customary sources. In some countries, the constitution is known as the Basic Law.\n\nConstitutional laws may often be considered second order rulemaking or rules about making rules of exercise power. One of the key tasks of constitutions within this context is to indicate hierarchies and relationships of power. Thus, for example, in the case of a unitary state, the Constitution will vest ulitimate authority in one central administration and legislature, and judiciary, though there is often a delegation of power or authority to local or municipal authorities. Whereas when a constitution establishes a federal state, it will identify the several levels of government coexisting with exclusive or shared areas of jurisdiction over lawmaking, application and enforcement.

In a nutshell, Federalism is the seperation of powers between a Federal, national government and a local government, as we have in the U.S., or it can be defined as the decentralization of powers between differnt levels of government, such as the national government has powers, the state or province has certain powers,  the individual counties or parishes have certain powers, and then the towns and communities have certain powers, the second definitioin is much better, though neither is perfect.

Certainly within the Founders True Intent of the Constitution, States rights were recognized.  With the Union federal government winning of the civil war and the application of the 1868 14th Amendment (justified in Texas v. White [1869] since it never met Constitutional ratification requirements), States came under the power of the federal government and States rights began to diminish.  \n\nThrough the years the federal government has increasingly intruded into what the Founders would have considered as the Constitutional territory of the States.  One of the primary roles of the States (prior to the Civil war) was to protect the rights of its citizens relative to actions of the federal government through an action termed State Nullification.  In this function a single State legislature could decide that federal action was not Constitutional and nullify it in that single State.  \n\nTo get this back where it once was, a Constitutional Amendment would have to be ratified noting the Sovereign role of the States and their power to nullify federal action.

The constitution is considered "the highest law in the land."  It contains the Preamble, which is basically a statement of what the US is all about; the Articles, which give the basic structure of the government and the powers that each branch of government has, and the rules for amending the constitution; and the Amendments, which cover all kinds of issues regarding citizenship, rights of citizens, and more stuff about the structure of the government and how it gets paid.

Supremacy Clause\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nArticle VI, Paragraph 2 of the United States Constitution is known as the Supremacy Clause:\n\n"This Constitution, and the law of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be Supreme Law of the land; and the Judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding." \nThe Supremacy Clause establishes the Constitution, Federal Statutes, and U.S. treaties as "the supreme law of the land." The Constitution is the highest form of law in the American legal system. State judges are required to uphold it, even if state laws or Constitutions conflict with the clause.

J. D. answer is correct. The checks and balances principle comes from Montesquieu's views on power equilibrium. The three powers model requires an additional clause that guarantees that no power will be able to act on it's own. So Constitutional laws may be written by the legislative power, but they will be administered by the judiciary while the executive is obliged to enforce them.
