There are several principles that are inherent in the structure of the US Constitution and in the organization of the US Government. The most important of all is the principle that all people are created equal and that liberty is the fundamental right of all people.
The principle of judicial review.
The basic principle of the Constitution was to establish the Government of a new nation. One of the principles does establish civilian control of the military to prevent a military dictatorship in our country. Many counties around the world have military rule and they don't fair well for the citizens.
The first three words of the US Constitution, We The People, ... The US Constitution is that the basis of the laws in the United States of America.
The idea that government was not all powerful had become an accepted part of the English system by the time the first colonies were founded in the New World. The idea first appeared in the Magna Carta, also known as the Great Charter, that King John signed in 1215. It established the principle of limited government, in which the power of the King, or government, was limited and not absolute. Limited government is also found in the US Constitution. The Constitutional Convention developed the system of federalism, which insures limited government on a national basis.
supreme law of the landit generally means the fabric or structure of something. Examples: he has a strong constitution (meaning he has a sound physical structure that resists illness)the constitution of the US (the document that outlines the basic structures of rights and governance for that country)
The principle is an important theme throughout the US government. The emphasis in the society is on merit and not on need. For example, candidates for political office do not need to be any particular race or economic background, all citizens could be eligible.
The government only has the powers given to it by the Constitution.

limited government
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. If the Constitution does not give the US government the power to do something it is passed on the the States or to the people. The principle would be passing the buck. So lets face it the buck did not stop with Truman. He wished it did, but it passed on to the States and the people.
The power of the government comes from the people.
