Federalism was the framers' compromise between independent states with little centralized authority and the need for a stronger national government to maintain unity and address collective concerns. By establishing a system that divided powers between federal and state governments, they aimed to balance local autonomy with the necessity of a cohesive national policy. This structure allowed states to retain significant control over local matters while empowering the federal government to manage issues that transcended state boundaries, such as defense and commerce. Ultimately, federalism was designed to create a dynamic interplay between state and national interests, fostering cooperation while preserving individual state sovereignty.
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.

Because the US didn't want to upset the balance between the number of slave and free states (the Missouri Compromise).

Federalism was the compromise crafted by the Framers of the U.S. Constitution to balance the power between independent states and a central government. This system allowed states to retain significant autonomy while establishing a federal authority to address issues that transcended state boundaries, such as defense and commerce. The result was a dual system of governance that aimed to unify the nation while respecting the diversity and sovereignty of individual states.

Well Federalism is sharing power between states
Federalism represents a compromise between an extreme concentration of power and a loose confederation of independent states because when the Framers wrote the Constitution the fear of an abusive person gaining sole control was ultimate as well as the realization that thirteen independent states was not conducive for our unity. The Framers found it necessary to invent federalism at the Philadelphia Convention to help resolve issues debated by Federalists and Anti-federalists. Most agreed that the national government must be superior, however, they felt that powers must be given to sthe states. This sharing of powers is federalism and this defines a democracy, in that, powers are not concentrated in one area but shared also with the people. Today most laws that that affect us deirectly are state laws, in spite of the increased power of the federal government.
