Why are the 7 principles of the constitution important?

The Six 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; Judicial Review. 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. Judicial Review gives the Judicial Branch the right to declare laws unconstitutional.

The reserving of powers for the states allows for local solutions to problems and experimentation with new policies.

How does individual sovereignty relate to the first amendment?

Individual sovereignty is the control of one's own destiny. It was expressed by the Declaration of Independence as "life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". The First Amendment to the Constitution reaffirms that the individual's basic rights include religious freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and the freedom to petition against actions of the government. It is important that the Constitution does not "grant" these rights, but rather prevents the government from denying them.
