How did the Founding Fathers ensure a strong national government without it becoming too strong?
When the Founding Fathers drafted the Constitution after scrapping the Articles of Confederation, there were many fears and apprehension about a strong central government becoming corrupted and tyrannical.
As a result, the drafters included numerous failsafes into the Constitution, such as a system of checks and balances, which allowed the different branches of government some form of power over each other so that no one branch becomes overwhelmingly strong.
They also included a provision that made the Legislative Branch (Congress) a bicameral legislature, which also served to provide a checks and balance system between the two Houses of Congress. The Senate was initially intended to focus on the interests of the elite, whlie the House of Representatives focused on the interests of the masses.
After the draft of the Constitution was put up for ratification, a surge of Anti-Federalism protested the document's lack of a Bill of Rights. In order to quell the Anti-Federalists' fears, the Founding Fathers included the first ten ammendments to the Constitution as the United States Bill of Rights.
