The correct answer is A) to prevent the abuse of power by any level of government.

The Framers chose a federalist system of government to prevent the abuse of power by any level of government.

In this Federal system, the Constitution clearly states the powers and faculties of the different branches of the government. To avoid any unbalance in the exercise of power, the United States designed a system of checks and balances that avoid the tyranny or wrong use of power form any branch. The Executive branch is the President of the US. The Legislative branch is the House of Representatives and the Senate. And the Judicial branch is the US Supreme Court.
