Although the framers of the Constitution wanted to protect states' rights, they also wanted a national government that had sufficient powers to maintain order and keep the country unified.
(taken straight from the book ;) )
The framers put clauses in the Constitution to allow for amendments to be made if specific issues should arise once the federal system was implemented. They also allowed for parts of the Constitution to be interpreted in different ways.
One of the framers fell off of the roof! The framers of the US Constitution seem to have been quite wise.
The framers of the Constitution established a national judiciary to create a unified legal system that would ensure the consistent interpretation and application of federal laws across all states. This was essential for maintaining the rule of law, resolving disputes between states, and protecting individual rights against potential state overreach. By having a national judiciary, the framers aimed to promote stability and fairness in the legal system, fostering a sense of national identity while balancing state and federal powers.
The framers of the Constitution did not want the new government to become a Dictatorship. Dictatorships only have one leader and power goes unchecked.

the answer is the division of powers and the federal arrangement
In establishing a federal system of government, the framers hoped to achieve a system whereby power in the country would be shared between the national government and state governments. Opinions vary regarding how successful this has been.
to prevent autocracy and majority tyranny
The framers of the Constitution developed a structure of government with ranches so that no one could hold absolute power. There is a system of checks and balances in place.
The framers wanted this because they didn't want the national government to get too strong and become a monarchy, like the one they just worked so hard to get out of. The constitution created a federal system as a compromise so that power of government would be shared between the states and federal government, and the federal government would not become too powerful. It was the only choice the founders thought they had in order to achieve this.
