Guiding principles of the US government

Explanation:

My name is George Washington, and I'm sure most of you recognize me as our country's first president. In this lesson, we're going to talk about some of our government's core principles, the deep-seated beliefs that Americans hold about what their government can and cannot do and the ways in which they participate in the political process. These important ideals help hold America together, give people a sense of national identity of being Americans and of belonging to a particular society, and allow the government to operate efficiently and with a certain continuity.

We Founding Fathers established these principles deliberately, and we enshrined them in the Constitution of the United States, which we signed on September 17, 1787. We had a vision for this country, and we're proud to have created a system of government that stands apart from nearly every other nation on Earth. A few of us will take turns introducing you to five of America's core principles: popular sovereignty, limited government, separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism.
