Here's how the examples can be matched to the constitutional principles:

  1. Limited Government: cruel punishment and fines are prohibited
  2. Separation of Powers: only congress can make laws
  3. Federalism: people are governed by state and national laws

So, the filled table would look like this:

  • Limited Government: cruel punishment and fines are prohibited
  • Separation of Powers: only congress can make laws
  • Federalism: people are governed by state and national laws

The "people can serve in the military" does not specifically reflect any of the three principles mentioned.
