Answer:
Social contract theory
Explanation:
This relates to Locke's social contract theory, in which the governed give up some of the rights that they would have had in the state of nature (anarchy) for the protection provided by the government. The people agree to give up their power to the government, and the government agrees to not misuse that power and to rule fairly. If the government becomes corrupt, the people, under the social contract theory, can overthrow the current government and establish a new one.
The general consensus amongst historians is that the balance between Federal and State powers was done to appease those who were afraid that too strong of a federal government would be no different than the monarchy that the colonists were overthrowing.
