Charles Beard: Interrelation of Economics and Politics. This paper looks at the ideas of Charles Beard, specifically in An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution, where he argues that the framers of the Constitution, as property owners, were chiefly interested in constructing a charter to protect their wealth. This was a Marxist analysis that focused on the haves and the have-nots. Beard was interested in the question of who benefited from the Constitution. This short paper then takes these ideas and relates them to today's society. 4 pgs. 1 f/c. 2b. Pages: 4 Bibliography: 2 source(s) listed Filename: 2691 Charles Beard Interpretations.doc Price: 35.80
