What principle of government (Popular Sovereignty, Federalism, Limited Government) that was debated by the Federalists/Anti-Federalists does this writing best match up with? Explain your reasoning in complete sentences.

“The proposed Constitution, so far from implying an abolition of the State governments, makes them constituent parts of the national sovereignty, by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power. This fully corresponds, in every rational import of the terms, with the idea of a federal government.
