First, is the principle that the source of
government power is the citizens—what is often called popular sovereignty.
Second, is the division of delegated power
between the nation and its subsidiary states.
A third inspired principle is the separation of
powers among the executive, legislative and judicial branches.
Fourth, is the cluster of vital guarantees of
individual rights and specific limits on government authority such as in the
Bill of Rights.
Fifth, we see divine inspiration in the vital purpose of the entire Constitution, which is that we are to be governed by law and not by individuals. Our loyalty is based on the Constitution and its principles and processes, not to particular officeholders.
