Answer 1

Answer:

by dividing powers among the levels of government

Explanation:

Any powers not relegated to the federal government is thereby given to the state governments, and those are further split in between local governments. Also, relegated powers to the federal government was further split into three different branches, being the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch.

Towards the beginning, the federal government barely handled anything, as everything was left up to each state to decide. However, later on foreign relations was relegated to the federal government, followed by taxations and raising of armies. It is worth noting, however, that the federal government continued to gain more power throughout the years.
