Description

Explore a foundational text in American historiography with We the People: The Economic Origins of the Constitution. This volume by Forrest McDonald provides a significant historical perspective on the creation of the United States Constitution. For decades, Charles A. Beard's interpretation suggested the document served the economic interests of the propertied class, a view that shaped how historians approached the subject. McDonald's work serves as the first major challenge to Beard's thesis. Through superb research and thorough documentation, this book offers a different view, presenting the Constitution as the result of principled and prudential men. It is an essential read for students, historians, and anyone interested in the legal and economic foundations of the American government. This Routledge publication helps clarify the complex debates surrounding the motives of the Framers and provides a scholarly counter-narrative to radical interpretations of the document.
