The framers planned to resolve conflicts between the states and the national government primarily by establishing a federal judiciary, including a Supreme Court, which would have the authority to decide cases arising under the Constitution and federal laws. This federal court system would have the power to resolve disputes that might arise between states and between states and the national government, ensuring that the "supreme Law of the Land" (the Constitution and federal laws) would take precedence over state laws when conflicts occurred. Additionally, the Constitution created a system of federalism that allotted specific responsibilities to the federal government while reserving other powers to the states. The framers sought to balance power so that the federal government could act decisively when necessary, but states retained a significant degree of sovereignty. The Supreme Court and the federal judiciary system were envisioned as impartial arbiters to prevent conflicts from escalating into force or dissolution of the union. This framework, including judicial review and the supremacy clause, was designed to maintain a balance of power and provide peaceful, legal mechanisms for resolving jurisdictional and constitutional disputes between the states and the national government.
