In establishing a federal system of government, the framers hoped to achieve a system whereby power in the country would be shared between the national government and state governments. Opinions vary regarding how successful this has been.
Through the grants of power in the U.S. Constitution, the Framers sought to empower government and limit it. This was accomplished through the federalism system of government which distributed authority between the national and individual state governments.

The framers wanted this because they didn't want the national government to get too strong and become a monarchy, like the one they just worked so hard to get out of. The constitution created a federal system as a compromise so that power of government would be shared between the states and federal government, and the federal government would not become too powerful. It was the only choice the founders thought they had in order to achieve this.

I think you have it wrong. The framers of the constitution wanted a federal government with limited powers. That was one of the reasons came here to get away from in England.
Federalism means the division of power between the national government and the states. The Constitution does not clearly define, however, the areas in which these powers are exercised. Keeping in mind that the framers were determined to strengthen the national government, it is not surprising that the powers belonging to the states were left vague.
