18. earlier this year, and again in this unit, you have learned about the six principles of the constitution (popular sovereignty, limited government, checks & balances, separation of powers, judicial review, and federalism). choose two of these principles and provide two examples showing how the bill of rights supports these principles. your answer should include at least two specific amendments from the bill of rights. your answer needs to explain how the examples you chose support the principles that you chose.

Checks and Balances. The Constitution divided the Government into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. ... The President in the executive branch can veto a law, but the legislative branch can override that veto with enough votes. This is an example because in the Bill of Rights it states that not one branch should have more power then the other two. In political philosophy, limited government is where the government is empowered by law from a starting point of having no power, or where governmental power is restricted by law, usually in a written constitution. It is a key concept in the history of liberalism.

Hope this helps!

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
