Life, liberty, and property
A strong government must never be in the hands of one person—there must be a
separation of powers.
I wrote most of the US Constitution.
To live together in a civilized society, we must give up some
rights and live according to the rule
of law to maintain order.
To me is was “common sense” to separate from the
British
Establishment of the three branches of our
government.
Article 1, Section 8 contains the ______
powers
I’m the clause that is really “stretchy” so
that Congress can do what they need to do
to carry out the enumerated powers.
I was not in the original Constitution,
but am what most people think about
when they ponder the document.
I am full faith and credit—I help the
states get along—I can be found here.
There are 435 of us.
We represent entire states, not just people within a
district.
When a bill gets approved by both houses, but is not
identical, I go to this group for negotiation.
In the Senate, we have this principle as
part of our power over the President.
After the census, the House seats are
reapportioned. The state legislatures must do this to
ensure “one person, one vote.”
Although I am elected for a four-year term, I
can serve a maximum of this
many years.
When I do not like a bill that Congress
passes, I will do this to it.
If I get charged with high crimes and
misdemeanors, I may have to go through
this process.
It’s the law that allows me to send troops anywhere in the world without
declaring war.
It’s my way of making law without having to
deal with all that messy Congress stuff.

I can serve on the Supreme Court.
This concept was first articulated (stated) in Marbury v Madison in
1803
My appointment to be a federal judge lasts for this long.
