The powers of the US Constitution were clearly "spelled out" for the most part. In order to satisfy statesmen that the Federal government would not have overwhelming power, the Constitution specifies that all powers not given to the Federal government belonged to the States. That is how power is divided between the States and the Federal government.

Delegated powers are distributed authority in a federal system of government, so any federal system would have delegated powers.
Under the Tenth Amendment, the powers that are not expressly given to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people. The enumerated powers in the constitution (and their related implied powers) are powers the federal government has. The state governments retain all of the other powers. Some powers are concurrent; the federal government has been given the power, but it hasn't been prohibited to the states, so they also can exercise it. An example would be the ability to tax.
It is good for the federal government to have special powers in order to uphold the constitution. If there was no central government, some state governments would treat citizens unfairly.

The Anti-Federalist wanted to limit the Federal government strictly to what the powers the Constitution delegated to it.
