The central idea of the text is most likely that B. The Constitution sought to balance power between the central government and the state governments.

The Constitution was made in such a way that the Federal government received just enough powers to ensure the smooth running of the nation whilst leaving significant power to the states.

Power was therefore balanced between the federal government and the state.

The other options are wrong because:

  • The Bill of Rights was only written after the Constitution so the latter cannot be based on the former
  • The Constitution gave equal powers to the three arms of government not just the President
  • The Constitution still bears a very close resemblance to the original documents as only 27 Amendments have been made

In conclusion, the Constitution did not give the federal government too much power that it would be able to sideline the states but rather sought to balance these powers.
