Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle violated in Printz v. United States is the separation of powers, which refers to the division of government power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The decision was found to be unconstitutional as it allowed for the transfer of the president's executive authority to local sheriffs, which exceeds the scope of the executive branch's power designated in the Constitution.
