Through the grants of power in the Constitution, the Framers sought to both empower government and limit it. Option A is correct.

The framers of the constitution were those men who created it.

To limit the government means that it has only the power granted by and outlined in the Constitution. For example, the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that powers not specifically granted to the federal government are reserved for the people and the states.
