The southern states believed in states' rights, the right to make decisions and run their own affairs. States' rights and the stubborness of the north in resenting the skills of the south were the main cause of the war. The north had so right to interfere in the affairs of the southern states.

The delegates settled on a federal form of government instead of a system in which power was not divided between state and national government because they believed that it provided for a much stronger national government with a chief executive (the president), courts, and taxing powers.
Autonomy in the context of government refers to the degree of self-governance and independence that a political entity has from external authorities, particularly a central government. It allows regions or groups within a state to make decisions regarding their own affairs, such as legislation, administration, and cultural practices. This can manifest in various forms, such as federalism, where power is divided between national and regional governments, or in the recognition of local governance structures that operate independently in specific areas.
Federal Government
In a unitary system of government, power is concentrated at the national level, with central authorities holding the primary decision-making power. Local governments, if they exist, derive their authority from the national government and can be easily altered or abolished. This contrasts with federal systems, where power is constitutionally divided between national and regional authorities, allowing for a greater degree of local autonomy. As a result, policy implementation and governance in a unitary system are typically more uniform across the entire nation.
A devolved government divides power between a central authority and the regional authority.

Exclusive powers in government refer to those authorities that are specifically granted to either the national or state governments, preventing the other level from exercising them. At the national level, examples include the power to declare war, regulate interstate commerce, and coin money. At the state level, exclusive powers include regulating intrastate commerce and conducting elections. These powers ensure a clear division of responsibilities between federal and state authorities.
