What is constitusion?
the body of fundamental laws setting out the principles structures, and processes of a government ;) by:Sergio T. Martinez :)
What is the concept that government must be conducted according to constitutional principles?
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).

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.
