The correct response is: **The Founding Fathers knew they had to prevent the federal government from having an excessive power that paralleled Great Britain’s monarchy.**

This was crucial because the Founding Fathers wanted to ensure that the new government would not replicate the oppressive rule they experienced under British monarchies. By granting rights to states, they aimed to create a system of checks and balances that would limit the power of the federal government and protect individual liberties.
