Question: How did the authors of the Constitution address the concerns of those who worried that the new federal government would be too strong? Group of answer choices The framers ensured that states would be able to oppose the federal government when it did not like the laws passed by Congress by giving states the power to "nullify" federal laws. The framers of the Constitution ensured that states would be able to oppose the federal government by making it easy to pass constitutional amendments, and by providing legal steps for states to leave the Union if they so desired. The Constitution makes it difficult for the national government to exercise power through the separation of powers and checks and balances between the three branches. While the authority granted to the federal government is "supreme," it is also limited, most explicitly by Article 1, Section 8, which identifies the scope of Congress' lawmaking power. Meanwhile, state sovereignty remained significant, especially given the broad authority connected to state "police powers."
