did not intend
The founding fathers thought search warrants were important because King George's men could enter a house and conduct a search at will and States didn't want the new Federal Government to be allowed to do it without approval of a judge.
Most people at that time considered the states to be precisely that, separate and soveriegn countries. The United States of America was just an alliance of these countries. It was obvious that if the states were goping to prosper and maintain their independence then they were going to have to work more closely together and that meant giving up some power, some aspects of soveriegnty, to a central government. But they did not want their separate countries to be completely absorbed into a new superstate, they wanted them to remain as independent as possible. Federalism was the logical compromise that allowed both of these seemingly incompatible goals to be achieved.Michael Montagne
Written guarantees of rights in colonial documents were important to the development of Americans' ideas about government because the founding fathers wanted to have little government interference on the federal level.
The Republicans didn't want to compromise so they shut the government down.
did not intend
Because they did not want to repeat the mistakes of the British.
read the constitutions & you will know
The founding fathers feared an all-powerful national government (as England had been). So in creating the Constitution they felt a need to balance power between three branched of government, each with specific, exclusive duties and powers.

Federalism and the federal system define the basic structure of American government. There were many disagreements at the Constitutional Convention. Many delegates feared a national government that was too strong and many delegates feared that states' rights would merely continue the weak form of government under the Articles. The Constitution created a federal system of government (federalism) as a compromise. Under federalism, power is shared and divided between national and state governments. Both levels have their own agencies and officials and directly affect the people. The Founding Fathers really had no other choice except federalism. The weak union created under the Articles would not work yet people did not want to give all the power to a national government. Federalism was the middle ground--compromise--a way to distribute authority between the states and the national government

Regarding authority, yes. A U.S. State Government (such as the State of Texas) administers the State in which is located. By contrast, the Federal Government of the United States of America administers the whole country.
