How were the framers of the Constitution able to create a stronger national government while maintaining a government that had limited power?
The idea that government was not all powerful had become an accepted part of the English system by the time the first colonies were founded in the New World. The idea first appeared in the Magna Carta, also known as the Great Charter, that King John signed in 1215. It established the principle of limited government, in which the power of the King, or government, was limited and not absolute. Limited government is also found in the US Constitution. The Constitutional Convention developed the system of federalism, which insures limited government on a national basis. The Constitution also established the supremacy of the national government over states' rights but still protected the rights of the states and the people.

What basic constitutional priciples were reflected in the governments of all the colonies based on the founders ideas?
You've got that backwards. The states did not base their constitutions on the federal one. they had all developed new constitutions fairly soon after independence was declared. The delegates to the Constitutional Convention knew those constitutions and were able to use them as models for the federal one. Some prenciples from those state constitutions that were incorporated into the federal constitution include separation of powers, limits on government powers, power of taxation rests solely with the legislature, regular election of the legislature and the executive.

Do you consider the US government to be democratic?
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. The US Constitution also establishes a democratic-republic. A pure democracy can only exist in small city-states, like in Greece where the system developed. A republic provides all the benefits of a democracy but allows the voters to elect representatives who handle the day-to-day operations of government. Notice in the Pledge of Allegiance " I pledge allegiance to the flag, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands. . ."
