1. False - Constitutionalism is the limitation of government by law. Constitutionalism implies also a balance between the power of the government on the one hand and the rights of individuals on the other.

2. False - precedent or authority is a legal case establishing a principle or rule that a court may need to adopt when deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts

3. False - Suffrage (from the Latin suffragium, meaning "vote") is the civil right to vote

4. False - An ex post facto law (from the Latin for "from something done afterward") or retroactive law, is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences of acts committed or the legal status of facts and relationships that existed prior to the enactment of the law.

5. False but could be true under certain circumstances - Utopia in its most common and general positive meaning, refers to an imaginary, ideal civilization, which may range from a city to a world, regarded to be attainable in the future by some. It has also been used to describe actual communities founded in attempts to create such a society in order to better themselves in an economic and political fashion (hence this could be true).
