the body of fundamental laws setting out the principles structures, and processes of a government ;) by:Sergio T. Martinez :)
Every organisation/institution/society works on a principles of laws and rules to which all layers of these entities abide and which make things "work". For instance in a government its the constitution in which the basic laws and fundamental rights which pertain to all individuals within its society are set. From it stems order within society and a level of control by the government on society. Democratic accountability is a means to insure all levels of the government are playing by these rules which apply to them as well. This would be the control of society on the government. So i am left with 2 principles: order and accountability. Order as a direct result of the constitution (Laws), and accountability as effect of the constitution (Rights).
There was an early tradition in the American colonies of written fundamental laws. This practice implied that there should be a law higher than the ordinary laws or statutes passed by the legislature.
The Five Principles of Government found in the Constitution of the United States are---Popular Sovereignty; Checks and Balances; Federalism; Limited Power of the Government; Separation of Branches. Popular Sovereignty means the ultimate power rests with the people. Checks and Balances means that no one branch of the government can overpower the other branches of government. Each has a check on the power of the other branches. Federalism is the dividing and sharing of power between state and national governments. Limited power means that the government is restricted by the laws and the Constitution and it has to operate within the framework of the laws and Constitution. Separation of Branches divides the government into the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branch, each with its own powers and duties. The framers of our Constitution managed to include all the principles in the Constitution of the United States.
The purpose of the Constitution is to protect the rights of individuals, and to limit governments power. The constitution is the body of fundamentalism laws setting out the principles, structures,and processes of a government.

Physics uses fundamental laws and principles, such as Newton's laws of motion and the laws of thermodynamics, to explain natural phenomena by describing the relationships and interactions between different physical quantities. These laws help us understand how objects move, interact with each other, and transform energy in various processes, allowing us to predict and explain a wide range of natural phenomena based on these fundamental principles.
