A. The framers believed in the principle of federalism.

Explanation:

To first understand this question, you have to know that framers were people who helped shape the United States Constitution, so the Founding Fathers were framers.

Along with this, federalism is the balance of power between the states and the federal government. If either of them get too powerful, the balance could get shifted and power could be used unlawfully or unconstitutionally.

The Tenth Amendment, which is part of the Bill of Rights, allows the balance of power between the states and the federal government to stay equal, so one never overpowers the other and peace is present.

Before the United States Constitution, there was the Articles of Confederation. These articles gave too much power to the states and to the people and not enough to the federal government. This made it so the government could not regulate trade, could not tax citizens so war debts could not be paid, and even made it so some laws were not enforced properly. This obviously was not a good thing for the United States, so Federalists pushed for the creation of a new constitution for the United States. Anti-Federalists opposed a new constitution and believed if too much power got in the hands of the federal government, the same thing with what happened with Great Britain would occur. Unfair laws and even "taxation without representation."

With the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, there stays a balance of power between the federal government and the states, which keeps the peace and keeps Americans happy.
