The federalist papers were essays written to alleviate the fears that many people had about joining a federal government. The papers go into great detail explaining the specific roll of the federal government and enumerate the rights of state governments and individuals.
I recommend Federalist paper #45 that deals with states rights and tax collection.
You will see that the government we have is not exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
I also want to mention Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" which gives the reasons for indepedence from England.

Read them.

A series of essays written and published between October 1787 and August 1788 in New York newspapers. While always attributed to the single author "Publius," the essays were actually written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.

They are worth reading.
Try to get the complete texts.
