Greta Padilla · Answer 1

Establishing federalism.

Explanation:

The founding fathers of the US Constitution strongly feared and had a distrust in a strong central government. The framers of the Constitution added the Tenth Amendment to the Bill of Rights to emphasize the limited power of the central government. They firmly believed in establishing federalism as they wanted the power and liberty to be directly in hands of the states and the people. Thus, the Tenth Amendment of the US Constitution states that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
