The United States Constitution preserves and protects liberty and democracy by dividing authority between three competing branches of government; by limiting the authority of the federal government over the people and over the several states, which retain police powers and authority over intra-state criminal and other matters (with some exceptions), control over elections, and other sovereign-like authority; by guaranteeing an independent judiciary with life tenure; etc.
