Answer 1

I think the differences between federal, unitary, and confederal systems were important to the founders because they wanted to establish a balanced government structure that distributed power appropriately. They aimed to avoid excessive concentration of power (unitary) or extreme decentralization (confederal), opting for a federal system that shared power between the central government and states, ensuring both unity and autonomy.
