The Framers During The Constitutional Convention

During the Constitutional Convention, one of the major issues facing the Framers involved the sharing of power between the state and national government. Even after having succeeded in becoming independent from Britain the colonists still viewed themselves as members of separate states. The Nation needed a strong centralized government that also protected the power of the states. Thus the Federalist American form of government was created.
The Framers did not want anyone faction of government to gain absolute power over the other therefore they created a system of checks and balances between the state and national government, as well as between the branches of the national. Inherent powers are those specifically given to the national government,
