Einstein's theory of gravitation (general relativity) is consistent with the correspondence principle, which states that a new theory must reduce to an old one in the appropriate limit. In the case of general relativity, this means that the theory reduces to Newton's theory of gravitation in the limit of weak gravitational fields and low velocities. Therefore, Einstein's theory obeys the correspondence principle.
