An economic interpretation of the Constitution of the United States by Beard
QR code
"An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States" by Charles A. Beard is a history book published in 1913. It argues that the Founding Fathers designed the Constitution primarily to protect their personal financial interests rather than purely democratic ideals. Through examination of tax records, property holdings, and biographical sources, Beard contends the Constitutional Convention was attended by a wealthy elite seeking to safeguard their investments and economic standing, challenging
traditional views of America's founding document. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
