The founding fathers avoided giving too much power to the federal government primarily because they feared another king. Their experience with British rule and the tyranny of King George III influenced their desire to create a government that had limited powers and a system of checks and balances to prevent any single entity from becoming too powerful. This concern was a significant factor in shaping the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
