Explanation:

1. The concern that the federal government won't reflect local needs is addressed by the argument splitting national and local governance between federal and state governments.
2. The concern that federal powers are too broad to overpower states is addressed by the argument that the Constitution only grants specific powers to the federal government while states have broad local authority.
3. The concern that the limited federal government could still grow too powerful is addressed by the argument that the federal government is split into three branches with distinct powers.
4. The concern that separation of powers won't stop branch domination is addressed by the argument that each branch has checks on the others.
