What type of government did the founding fathers start?
They set up a "confederation." That is a sort of treaty arrangement between the 13 constituent republics. Most government was the local responsibility of each of the 13, with only a few powers ceded to the united government. The first confederation was replaced by a "federal" republic with a stronger but still limited center, outlined in the Constitution of 1787. The idea here was to balance power between the States and the center, so that public opinion could weigh in on the balance and prevent either from getting out of hand. Our government of today is far different than the one outlined in that Constitution. The civil war established the power of the central government to hold the Union together by force, while the 17th Amendment removed State government representation in the Senate. The "New Deal" completed the process. Now, every detail of American life can be and is regulated from Washington. James Madison called this sort of government a "consolidated" republic which he though inferior for lack of the balance mentioned earlier.
