In this video lesson, we will delve further into the fundamental principles that govern the effective functioning of government in a society.

The principles we will cover are as follows:
1. Constitutionalism: This will include its definition, its relationship with the term "constitution," and the importance of constitutionalism.
2. Representative Government: This will include the definition, features, and conditions for establishing a representative government, as well as its merits and demerits.
3. Centralisation: This will include the definition, reasons for its adoption, merits, and demerits.
4. Decentralisation: This will include the definition, reasons for its adoption, merits, and demerits, and the types of decentralization (deconcentration and devolution).

The lesson will also feature case studies that examine how these concepts are applied in different countries around the world. Standardized questions (WAEC and JAMB) based on these principles will also be covered.
