Kusukela ezimpikiswaneni zokuhlobana zangonyaka ka - 1787 kuya eNkantolo Ephakeme yamuva kakhulu, inselele eyinhloko yomthetho-sisekelo waseMelika iye yahlala ingapheli: ukunikeza uhulumeni onamandla ngokwanele ukuba alungise izinselele zesizwe ngaphandle kokwakha uLeviyathani osebenzisa inkululeko yomuntu ngamunye. AmaFramers aphendula lombuzo ongapheli ngoMthetho-sisekelo owenziwe esisekelweni esilinganiselwe, esihlukanisiweyo, esihlukene, esiqinile, futhi esicacile. Lena akuyona nje imigoqo engokomlando; ayimigoqo esebenzayo, edingekile echaza ubuhlobo obungokomthetho phakathi kwezwe nesakhamuzi. Ukuqonda lezimiso zomthetho-mthetho-sisekelo kubalulekile ukuqaphela lapho igunya lidlula imingcele yayo engokomthetho.

Ukuhlukana Kwamandla Ngokwesimiso

Isivikelo esiyisisekelo kakhulu ekubekeni igunya yi gebe ehlukene yamagatsha amathathu ahlukene kahulumeni. Lokhu kwahlukana kugunyazwe yizihloko ezintathu zokuqala zoMthetho-sisekelo. Inkolelo - mbono, eshiwo nguMontesquieu futhi ilwelwa nguJames Madison ] u-Fadereralist No. [, iphethe ukuthi inkululeko idinga ukuhlukaniswa kwemithetho ye-propatistic, isikhulu, negunya lokwahlulela. Uma yona kanye indikimba eyenza imithetho iqinisekiswe futhi iyenze ibe yiyo, ubushiqela buwumphumela ongenakugwenywa.

ISiphakamiso I: Umbuso Ophakeme

I-Constitution ifaka "wonke ama-Province Manys" eSishaya - mthetho. Leli igatsha eliseduze kakhulu nabantu, eliklanyelwe ukuba libe namandla kakhulu. AbaHlanzi balenza libe yiNdlu yabameleli neSigele ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi ukwenza umthetho kungadinga ukuvumelana okubanzi. Imali kumelwe iqhubeke igcinwa yikomiti, izimpikiswano zaphansi, kanye namavoti amaningi ahlukene kuwo womabili amakamu ngaphambi kokuba idluliselwe kuMongameli. Le ngxoxo yangaphakathi egatsheni lomthetho iqinisekisa ukuthi imithetho ibekwe ngenhloso, ayidluliswa ngenani elikhulu noma ngeqiniso elilodwa.

Isihloko II: Isimiso Esilawula Ukusetshenziswa Kwamandla

Umbuso ophethe uphathiswe uMongameli oyedwa, unikeza amandla nokuthumela okudingekile ezindabeni zakwamanye amazwe, ekuvikeleni izwe, nasekuqedweni kokwethembeka kwemithetho. Nokho, igunya likaMongameli liboshelwe ngokuqinile. I-Take Care Clause (Artle II, Ingxenye 3) ifuna ukuba uMongameli "aqaphele ukuba iMiyalo iqedwe ngokwethembeka," umyalo olinganisela isikhulu ukuba sisebenzise lokho okumiswe yiSishaya-Mnyango. UMongameli akanakuchitha imali ngaphandle kokudluliswa kwe-Hulumeni, futhi ngeke aphinde ashintshe umthetho. Izingxoxo zamuva nje ziqokomisa ukungezwani kwemithetho phakathi kwezikhulu zezikhulu nemingcele yehhovisi.

ISiphakamiso III: Inkululeko Yokwahlulela

Umbuso wokwahlulela ubekwe eNkantolo Ephakeme nezinkantolo eziphansi njengeSishaya-mthetho esimisiwe. Abahluleli bamaFederal banezikhundla zabo phakathi no "Ukuziphatha okuhle," ngokuqinisekisa ukuphila ngokuphumelelayo. Lokhu kugunyazwa kumandla ezombangazwe kuklanyelwe ukuvikela ijaji njengomvikeli wokugcina wemingcele engokomthetho-sisekelo. Nakuba ijajiary iyigatsha eliyingozi" elingenasikhwama noma inkemba.

Umshini Wokulawula Ubuhlobo: Amasheke Nokulinganisela

Ukwahlukana kwemibuso akuyona isigaba esinemithetho eqinile. UMthetho-sisekelo wakha isimiso segunya eledlulele lapho igatsha ngalinye lingamelana khona nokungenela kwezinye. UMadison wabhala ku-Federalist No. 51[ ukuthi "izinyathelo zokuphepha" zazidingeka ngenxa nje yokuthi "imingcele ephazamisayo" ingenele ukulawula isimo samandla esingenekayo.

  • I-Legislative Ancheck kuBuphathi: UKhongolo-mfuno luphethe amandla esikhwama semali namandla okungagunyazi. Ingadlula umongameli nge-veto engaphezulu kakhulu. ISigele siqinisekisa ukumiswa kwenhlangano enkulu futhi sifake izivumelwano. I-Gavesting ingahlola futhi izenzo zezikhulu zegatsha, zisebenza njengenqubo yokulandisa okunenselele.
  • Isikhulu Esiphethe Sekesha Eqenjini Lemithetho: UMongameli usebenzisa amandla eveto, evumela isikhulu esisodwa ukuba sivimbe umthetho odluliswe yiningi leSishaya-mthetho. Lokhu kuphoqelela uMkhandlu ukuba ucabangele umbono kaMongameli futhi wakhe izinxulumani ezibanzi uma bethanda ukudlula i-veto. Umongameli futhi unamandla okuhlanganisa iziNgqungquthela ezikhethekile.
  • I- Judicial Seck on Bobini: Amandla okuhlola kokwahlulela]. Igunya lokumemezela umthetho noma isenzo sokuphatha ngaphandle kwe-constitut(i-judiary's se-check yejaji yokuqala. Nakuba ingashiwonga ngokucacile eMthethweni, leligunya lamiswa ku- Marbury v. Madison[ [183]) futhi ibilokhu iyitshe letshe letshe legunya lomthetho wokwahlulela kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Izinkantolo zingashaya imithetho neziqondiso zezikhulu eziphula umthetho, njengoba ibhekisela ekugcineni kumandla ombuso.

Isiqinisekiso Samalungelo Abantu: Ukugunyazwa Kwegunya

UMthetho-sisekelo wokuqala wawungenalo isiqinisekiso samalungelo, iqiniso lokuthi cishe laphazamisa ukuhlaziywa kwawo. Abalwa no-Anti-Federalist babesaba ukuthi uhulumeni onamandla ngokungenakugwenywa uzowanyathela imingcele yamalungelo abantu. Ukuze uvikeleke, iSishaya-mthetho sokuqala sahlongoza izinguquko eziyishumi ezilinganisela ngokucacile ukufinyelela kwegunya likahulumeni. IBhili-Constellation ayiwona amalungelo abantu, kodwa ukuphiwa kwegunya likahulumeni.

ISichibiyelo Sokuqala

UKhongolose uyokwenza "akukho mthetho" ovala inkululeko yokukhuluma, yokunyathelisa, yenkolo, yenhlangano, noma yesicelo. Lolulimi olucacile lumisa ukwenqatshelwa okunamandla kokuphazamisa kukahulumeni emakethe yemibono. Luvikela ilungelo lezakhamuzi lokugxeka uhulumeni wazo ngaphandle kokwesaba ukuziphindiselela, isici esingalawuleki somphakathi okhululekile. Lesivikelo sidlulela enkulumweni engokomfanekiso, ekusebenziseni imali, nasekubhaleni amapheshana angaziwa, siqinisekisa ukuthi ukumelana nomthetho kujabulela isivikelo esingase sitholakale ngokuphelele.

Isichibiyelo Sesine, Sesihlanu Nesesithupha

Le mithetho yokulungisa yakha umnyombo wemingcele yesimiso somthetho somthetho womthetho embusweni kahulumeni. ISichibiyelo sesine senqabela "ukuphenya okunengqondo nokuquleka" futhi sidinga imvume yokusekelwa yisizathu okungenzeka. ISichibiyelo sesihlanu sivimbela ukuzibeka umlomo wecala nezingozi eziphindwe kabili, futhi sigunyaza inqubo efanele ngaphambi kokuba uhulumeni uncishise umuntu ukuphila, inkululeko, noma impahla. ISichibiyelo seSishiyaga-nye siqinisekisa ilungelo lokuqulwa ngokushesha nomphakathi, ijaji elingakhethi, kanye nosizo lweseluleko. Lezi zisithiyo ze-procrateculture ziklanyelwe ukuvimbela amandla esabekayo kahulumeni ukuba asetshenziswe ekuqedeni umuntu ngamunye.

Izinqumo Zesi - 9 Nezeshumi

Lokhu kulungisa kusebenza njengendawo yokubhala emelene nemfundiso yamandla ashiwoyo. ISichibiyelo se-Ninth sithi ukuhlelwa kwamalungelo athile eMthethweni-sisekelo "ngeke kuthathwe njengokuphikwa noma ukuhlukanisa abanye abantu abagciniwe" lokhu kuqaphela ngokucacile ukuthi abantu banamalungelo ayisisekelo angabhalwanga kulencwadi. ISimemezelo seshumi siqinisekisa ukuthi amandla angaphathiswanga i-United States ngoMthetho-Constitution ngu "odendelwa eUnited States, noma kubantu bonke." Bamisa imvume yenkululeko: noma iliphi igunya elinganikezwanga uhulumeni wombuso ongaphiwe. Ungabona umbhalo ogcwele walemithetho egxekayo [[FLDA:0] iZinqolobane zeMashela eMidalo ye-RGeneticism [FLD]

Imingcele Ephakeme: Ukubusa Kwesizwe Nobukhosi BukaHulumeni

UMthetho-sisekelo awuwahlukanisi amandla aqonde phakathi kwamagatsha kuphela. Futhi uhlukanisa amandla aqonde phezulu phakathi kukahulumeni kahulumeni nezwe. Lobububusi obubili buyisivikelo esengeziwe sokwakha ekuphathweni. Uhulumeni kahulumeni ungowombuso ongowombuso odwetshiwe; ungasebenzisa lawomandla anikezwa wona ngokuqondile nguMthetho-sisekelo. Imibuso inguhulumeni ophethe wonke, ophethe "amandla ezombangazwe" ukulawula impilo, ukuphepha, nesimilo sezakhamuzi zabo.

Ibhizinisi LikaClaus Nemingcele Yalo

Ukwanda kwamandla kahulumeni ekhulwini lama-20 kwashukunyiswa kakhulu ukuchazwa okubanzi kwe-Chommerce Claus (Ingxenye I, u-Claus I, 3). Nokho, iNkantolo Ephakeme iye yaqaphela ukuthi lo mbuso awungenamkhawulo. United States v. Lopez [1995]] [INkantolo] [195]), igawule umthetho kahulumeni ovimbela izibhamu eziseduze kwezikole, uphethe ukuthi umsebenzi awuzange ulawule intengiselwano "ekhohlohloza" emabhizinisi ezwe. Ngokufanayo, FLT] FB v.[FLT][FLD , iNkadelm. (2012), iNkathi yeNkadeli ka-Classiclaus (20) ephethe ukuthi u-Classicsm) u-buthombo wagunyazankosi wombuso wamazwe wombuso awugunyaza abantu ukuba ugunya ukuba ugunyaze ukuba uthe abantu.

Imfundiso Emelene Nemithetho

Enye isivikelo esibalulekile se-constalism imfundiso emelene nokuyalelwa. INkantolo Ephakeme iphethe ukuthi uhulumeni kahulumeni awunakho "umyaleli" izishaya-mthetho zikahulumeni noma izikhulu zikahulumeni ukuba zisebenzise izinhlelo zokuqondisa zikahulumeni. Shicilelaz v. United States [1997] [1997], iNkantolo yabulala umthetho kahulumeni ofuna ukugcinwa komthetho kahulumeni ukuba uqhube izisekelo zesizinda kubathengisibhamu. Lesimiso siqinisekisa ukuthi amazwe agcine ukulandisa kwawo okuzimele kwezombangazwe futhi angakwazi ukuphoqeqelelwa ukuba abe yizikhali zokuphatha uhulumeni.

Ukubukeza Kokwahlulela Nobubi Obumelene Nezikhundla Zokwahlulela

Amandla ezinkantolo okuchitha imithetho emiswa ngedemokrasi ayisivikelo somthetho-sisekelo esiyinhloko, kodwa aphakamisa imibuzo yayo siqu yokusemthethweni. UAlexander Hamilton waphikisa ku- Federalist No. ukuthi ijaji liyoba "igatsha eliyingozi" ngoba lalingenawo amandla enkemba noma isikhwama somthetho. Amandla eNkantolo angowokwahlulela. Lapho inkantolo ishaya umthetho, alikho umthetho we-stella; libeka umthetho obhalwe njengecala eliphakeme kakhulu ezweni, njengoba kuboniswe endabeni evelele [[FL:].[FLD] [F]]

Ukuvela "kwabantu abahlolayo" kunikeza uhlelo oluhlelwe kahle lokuhlola ukwahlulela. Imithetho ethwesa amalungelo ayisisekelo noma izisulu ezisolwayo ingaphansi "kokuhlolwa kwezindawo," ifuna uhulumeni abonise isithakazelo esiphoqelelweyo futhi umthetho uhlohlwa kancane ukuze ufeze. Le ntambo ephezulu iyisivikelo esinamandla kuhulumeni ongazi ukuthi ungene ezindaweni eziphikeleli. Imithetho yezomnotho, ngokuphambene, ibhekene "nesisekelo esimisiwe" kuphela, okunikeza ukuthobela okubalulekile izahlulelo zemithetho. Ukusetshenziswa kwalezindinganiso kuveza amandla kahulumeni ekucuphembeleni abantu abacuphembelekile.

Imikhawulo Yomthetho - sisekelo Wesikhathi Esizayo

Ubuchwepheshe obusha, ukusongela okungavamile, nezinqubo ezishintshayo zezombangazwe zilokhu zivivinya imingcele yoMthetho - sisekelo.

Umbuso Ophethe Nemfundiso Engeyona Engagunyaziwe

Indaba eyinhloko ekhathazayo yamanje i-operances izinhlangano eziphethe. Lezi zikhungo zihlanganisa imisebenzi yemithetho, yezikhulu, neyakwahlulela, iqiniso elihlala ngokungeyikho ngesimiso samagunya ahlukene. UMthetho-sisekelo udinga ukuba iSishaya-mthetho sisebenze, kodwa uKhongolo ngokuvamile uthumela igunya elikhulu ezinhlangano ukuba "zigcwaliseni ngokwemininingwane." i-Non-Delisegiation Doctal Doctrict, ephethe ukuthi uMkhandlu awunakukwazi ukukhipha amandla awo omthetho, uvuselelwe yiNkantolo ePhakathini Ephakeme. I-West Virginia v. [FLT] [202]), iN, iNkawusholo yeNkanto ecacile "Imibuzo Yemibuzo," ifuna ukukhuluma ngokucacile uma ihlosa izimpikiswano zezentengosi yeze yezentengo yeze yeze yezentengo yeze yeze yezentengo yeze yeze yezentengo.

Ukulondeka Kwesizwe Nokuhlakanipha Okuphethe

Isifundazwe sokuphepha sanamuhla siveza izinselele ezinkulu ezingokomthetho-sisekelo. ISivumelwano sokusebenzisa Impi (2001) siye sacashunwa njengesisekelo sokuthatha isinyathelo sezempi ngokumelene nohlu lwamaqembu nabantu ngabanye emhlabeni wonke. I-Freign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) kanye ne-USA PATRIOTTT Act iphakamisa ikhono likahulumeni lokuhlola, ukuphakamisa izikhangiso zesine. INkantolo Ephakeme iye yazithela kakhulu kumphathi wezomthetho wezokuphepha kwesizwe, kodwa iye yadweba nemigqa, yalahla izikhulu zempi zempi zabathane [[FLT:] [FLT:].[5] i-RMFLD [FLD 1][2001] futhi yaqaphela ukukhomba kwayo okulungile ukuvikelwa kwe-Ault.[2]

Inhlekelele Engokobukhazikhazi Nezombangazwe

Ekugcineni, ukuhlola okuyisisekelo kakhulu kokuphanga kukahulumeni yindawo yezakhamuzi ngokwayo. Ukukhetha kuyinqubo eyinhloko yokubeka izikhulu ukuba zilandise. Ilungelo lokuvota "ilungelo lokuvota lawo onke amalungelo," njengoba iNkantolo Ephakeme iye yaqaphela ngokuphindaphindiwe. Ukwanda kwe-franccenseng kudlulela kweshumi elinesihlanu, 19th, Amashumi amabili-Bourth, neziNguqulo ezingamashumi amabili namashumi amabili e-Sightth kubonisa isibopho somthetho sokwenza inqubo yezombangazwe iphelele futhi isabelele. Umshini wezindaba wesihle, ovikelwe yiSichibiyelo Sokuqala, uqinisekisa ukuthi izakhamuzi zinolwazi oludingekile lokuhlola indlela esenzeka uhulumeni ebhokisini lebhola.

Isiphetho: Umthwalo Ongapheli Wenkululeko

The constitutional safeguards against government overreach are not self-executing. They require constant vigilance from all three branches of government and from the people themselves. The separation of powers, the intricate system of checks and balances, the explicit prohibitions of the Bill of Rights, and the division of authority between the states and the federal government form a comprehensive architecture of restraint. The defining characteristic of American constitutionalism is the radical proposition that the government is the servant of the law, not the master of it. Preserving this principle of limited authority is the perpetual burden of a free society, demanding of its citizens both an understanding of their constitutional heritage and the courage to insist that the government respect the legal boundaries that define a republic. This framework remains the most durable and effective bulwark ever devised against the natural human tendency to accumulate and abuse power.
