The new government needs to balance order & liberty.
Gracie Considine
One idea that most of the founding fathers agreed on, despite their differences, was the notion of protecting individual liberty and limited government. They believed in the importance of creating a system of checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power, and sought to establish a government that respected and protected individual rights and freedoms. This commitment to individual liberty and limited government is reflected in the United States Constitution and its amendments.

What were two main worries of the founding fathers as they wrote the constitution?
George Mason actually had three pages of handwritten objections, but the main ones were: 1. The Constitution as originally drafted did not contain a declaration of rights. The Bill of Rights was added later. 2. The powers of the President and Senate were dangerously extensive. 3. The Vice President as President of the Senate combined the executive and legislative branches to a degree that would endanger the concept of separation of powers of the three branches of government. ("Miracle at Philadelphia- The Story of the Constitutional Convention" by Catherine Drinker Bowen.)
How did the founding fathers attempt to design a government in which the people and the state and the federal government would be protected from domination by any person group or part of the govenment?
Our forefathers set up the Checks and Balances system. The three branches of government. The Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Not one of them has more power than the other. It takes two of them to agree to overturn a decision. Even the President can not change a vote or an outcome of one of the other branches without approval of another branch.
How did the founding fathers come to agree on the Constitution despite many differences of opinion?
Not all of them did. A number of delegates left the convention because they could not support the constitution that was taking shape. For those who did stay though, the answer is a profound willingness to compromise. Michael Montagne

Why did the founding fathers agree to share powers with the states?
The states were in existence before the federal government, and in fact had to ratify the Constitution before it could take effect. Since the states were all essentially sovereign, independent nations, the Founding Fathers could not have done anything without their agreement. In order to get them to accept the Constitution, the state governments of course had to share power with a limited federal government; otherwise they would never have ratified the Constitution, and the United States would not exist.

When the founding fathers started you the people who was not included?
Blacks, who still hate the nation to this day so that was a good call. They were slaves, the only people enslaved in history who never got over it. Native Americans weren't included, either. I don't agree with that one. Indians are cool.
Were the founding fathers for or against the slave trade?
The question itself is not very fair. The founding fathers grew up in a time where male superiority was unquestioned. Most did not believe in votes for women due to the fact that it was not demanded or requested until a later time period. Most did not even address the sufferage movement. But, John Adams ( the first vice president) responded to a letter from his wife where he did not agree with the votes for women movement. In fact he discouraged his wife from pursuing the movement because of the political turmoil that was occurring (due to the Revolutionary War) and America did not need any more division between its citizens. They were probably neutral, but they weren't for it. That's for sure.
Why were many states reluctant to agree to the new US Constitution after the American revolution?
It was always a matter of who had the reins of the nation in their hands, the big states or the little states. The concept of shared power for a common good was just a wee bit obscure even for America's great founding fathers.
