Question

why did the founding fathers compromise on using a federal system for the new government?
to provide the states with more power
to grant more liberties to the citizens
to balance power between the national and state governments
to separate powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches

Explanation:

A federal system divides power between national and state governments. The Founding Fathers wanted to balance power (not just state power, liberties, or separation of branches like checks and balances). The third option matches this balance.
