Simply stated, an unconstitutional government is one that does not follow, or is not consistent with, or ignores the constitution of that country. If the government continues to perform unconstitutional acts and ignores the set up of the constitution, it is an unconstitutional government. Under the United States Constitution, the government may do something which may later be declared unconstitutional by the courts. If the government continues to ignore the decision of the court, then the government is acting in an unconstitutional way. If a military coup takes over control of a government and does away with the current constitution, without the consent of the people, it is acting as an unconstitutional government.

An unconstitutional law is a law that is not in accord with the principles that were established in the U.S. Constitution. Citizens do not have to obey laws that are unconstitutional since they are considered invalid.

How does the Supreme Court help us?

If a decision made at District Court is successfully appealled, the case gets taken to a higher court. If there wasn't a Supreme Court, cases would keep getting appealled and taken to a higher court each time. Rulings by the Supreme Court can get appealled (the case would get taken to Congress), but this process is very difficult. The Supreme Court also has a duty to make sure laws and actions by the President and Congress are not unconsitutional.


In 1972 death penalty unconsitutional?

Yes, in 1972, the case of Furman v Georgia made the death penalty unconstitutional. By a vote of 5 to 4 the Supreme Court found the death penalty cruel and unusual as practiced. They said it was arbitrary and capricious in the way it was administered. Justices Marshall and Brennan found the death penalty cruel and unusual per se. Justice Douglas, Justice Stewart, and Justice White found capital punishment cruel and unusual as practiced. In 1976 Gregg v. Georgia brought back the death penalty.


Which branch of government had the most power?

In my opinion, the Legislative branch has by far the most power. The Executive branch can do very little without the consent from Congress. Congress can even override a President's choice to make a bill a law or not. The Judicial branch does have power, as they can take any law and decide it is unconsitutional.


What kind of veto power did the 104th Congress give the President?

The Line Item Veto Act was signed into law by Pres. Bill Clinton on the 9th of April 1996. The line-item veto was designed to thwart the attempts of those who would attach unrelated items to bills, especially "pork barrel" items, by giving the Pres. the power to pass some parts of a bill and veto other parts. However, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the act to be unconstitutional, pointing out that the Constitution limited the President's choices to accepting or rejecting a bill.
