We prove existence and uniqueness results for patterns of circles with prescribed intersection angles in constant curvature surfaces. Our method is based on two new functionals--one for the Euclidean and one for the hyperbolic case. We show how Colin de Verdi`ere's, Br"agger's and Rivin's functionals can be derived from ours.
