Actually the way the system was designed to work is that very little power was concentrated in the Federal Government.
Most was concentrated in the States as such the Federal Government was purposely designed in way that a degree of consensus between minority & majority had to be agreed upon for a NATIONAL law to be passed.
If there was no consensus the individual State governed as they please.
For example purposes take abortion.
The conservative “argument” is not that the Federal government should ban it.
Originalists agree there is no part of the US Constitution that does so.
They argue that there is equally nothing that allows the Federal government to force States to allow it as such let the States decide.
So California which believes it’s correct can permit it.
Oklahoma which believes it’s wrong can ban it.
And we all get along because we do not force any one State to live according to another.
