separation of powers
limited government
power is divided between federal and state governments
specifically states what the government can and cannot do
each branch has some power over the other 2
3 branches of government
government officials, lawmakers and even the president are not above the law

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each principle and its definition:

1. Rule of Law: The definition "government officials, lawmakers, and even the president are not above the law" matches this principle, as it emphasizes that everyone is subject to the law.
2. Federalism: The definition "power is divided between federal and state governments" matches, as federalism is about the division of power between national and state levels.
3. Checks and Balances: The definition "each branch has some power over the other 2" matches, as this principle ensures branches can limit each other's power.
4. Separation of Powers: The definition "3 branches of government" matches, as this principle divides government into legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
5. Limited Government: The definition "specifically states what the government can and cannot do" matches, as limited government restricts governmental power.

Matching Results:

• Rule of Law → government officials, lawmakers, and even the president are not above the law
• Federalism → power is divided between federal and state governments
• Checks and Balances → each branch has some power over the other 2
• Separation of Powers → 3 branches of government
• Limited Government → specifically states what the government can and cannot do

If you were asking for the matching (e.g., which principle goes with which description), these are the correct pairings.
