Motives of the Framers Chapter 2, Theme D

Economic Interests Modest role Varied widely Beard: Framers expected to benefit economically No clear division along class lines support this claim Recent research shows st. econ. gain outweighed personal gain (EX. Slaves)

Economic Interests These interests played into the ratifying conventions Who supported the Constitution? Merchants, urban, western landowners, held gov’t IOUs, abolitionists Who opposed the Constitution? Farmers, debtors, slave owners

Equality Slaves not mentioned—see your notes on compromises. Why? How are women protected by the Constitution? Is our Government too weak to protect equality due to special interests? Does a strong government create inequality or prevent it?

Modern Reforms Reduce separation of powers? Eliminate gridlock Limit interference with government agencies Make president stronger & more accountable with powers over the Congress. (See p. 42 for list)

Modern Reforms Government does too much How to limit government? Personal wants outweigh common good How to limit government? Limit taxes collected Require a balanced budget President should regain rescission authority Limit the power of courts
