Explanation:

The framers of the U.S. Constitution aimed to prevent any one level of government from having too much power. Dividing power between the federal and state governments is a form of checks - and - balances and limiting government overreach. It has little to do with modeling after European countries or avoiding state revolts as the main reason.

Answer:

They wished to limit government by dividing it.
