A. popular sovereignty
Explanation: The Preamble's "We, the people..." makes clear that government authority comes from the people, which is the core idea of popular sovereignty. The other choices (checks and balances, separation of powers, federalism) are important constitutional principles but are not the primary idea expressed by the Preamble's opening.
