How the framers intended to distribute power within the federal government?

The original intent was to divide the country down into smaller pieces that were easy to manage and to load the federal government with preponderant and unwieldy tools for dealing with small issues. The framers believed that local government was better handled and kept in check by local citizens, and through that representation they were better prepared for handling the larger federal government. A large part of this plan relied on the transportation and communications delays of the day, which are moot today.

The framers gave more power to the federal govenrment. The Constitution contained coersive powers over the states.

What does it means to say the United States has a federal system of government?
That the US has several functions of government, one that is federal and the other that is state and local. The US federal system creates a central government that is restrained two ways. Clearly as per the Framers, all powers not relegated to the federal government are left to the states. In addition to that, the Framers created a central government where power is separated. The executive, legislative and judicial branches are designed to not allow any branch to have too much power by itself. The separation of powers is an excellent method of controlling an uneven growth of power in any single branch.
