    We don't do homework here. But I'm sure that if you give us your answer there would be plenty of people here who would be willing to critique it for you.

    I strongly agree that governance by the military violates the fundamentals of constitutionalism.This is due to following reasons; True and authentic constitutionalism requires that the military remain in the barracks and have limited functions mandated by the constitutionally elected authorities.The military rule does not respect the fundamentals of constitutionalism such as popular sovereignty, democracy,separation of powers and human rights.When one considers the military regimes as opposed to the democratic governments,you could see that democracy engages the people in decision-making. Of course as the definition suggests '' government of the people,by the people and from the people''. This means that democratic governments are fully elected by the majority but the military are not, it also presupposes that the government does the will of the people, their views are taken into consideration but the military does not, also the military regimes does open up for the media to do their work since the media are found of criticizing bad things.

    Not a bad answer but it's a little bit scattered. Try this...

    Look at the question and break it down. First state the fundamentals of constitutionalism. Then state how the military governs. Then state how that type of governance violates those fundamentals.

    Doing it this way will make your answer more organized and it will come out in the form of a logical argument.
