They did not develop the theory. The founding fathers developed the theory and the Southern States viewed the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution very conservatively while the North viewed the Constitution as a more breathable and changeable document.
The founding fathers viewed Government as a needed evil they wanted to limit as much as possible. They came up with a very ingenuous way to allow it to exist with a check a balance system. They formed a group of sovereign states which had a central group that controlled each States military and was given control of the commerce between these States.
The military system is a great example of the wonderful method that the founding fathers divided this power. All enlisted personnel were supplied b y each State. They were supplied and paid for as a unit by each State. The leaders of each group were Federal employees. The leaders were helpless without the power supplied by the States, yet the Federal Government had overall control of the military! This limited the power of each officer to the will of the solders supplied.
Money was similar in this period. Each State printed their own supply of money. This money was backed by Value stored in each State's treasury.
The founding fathers were afraid of a Government that became so centralized and large as to suck all the money from each State and use it to self enlarge. The South realized this fear, while the North wanted to create a larger more powerful central Government.

What is the controversy between states' rights and the exercise of national power?
States' Rights is the theory that state and local government's actions and laws in dealing with social and economic problems are supreme to federal actions and laws. The theory goes back to the founding of our nation. Jefferson and Madison advocated states' rights in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. John C. Calhoun's Theory of Nullification, the South's justification for declaring independence from the US, also advocates states' rights. The argument of the States' Rights theory is that the Constitution is a compact between states, not between people. The states created the national government and gave it only limited power. States' Rights supporters believe that the state is closest to the citizen and can better reflect their wishes.
