Discuss the following historical interpretations of the 1787 Constitutional Convention and subsequent ratification of the United States Constitution:
The Constitution represented a “counter-revolution” mounted by American elites, who were terrified that the Articles of Confederation was incapable of protecting their property and status. As a result, the Constitution focused mainly on property rights and ways to protect political power for the wealthy minority. Framers even modeled the Constitutional government on the British legislative division of upper and lower houses, showing that they sought to partially restore the pre-Revolution social order. While they achieved stability, the Constitution rolled back liberties for ordinary Americans by empowering the national government to tax, raise an army, and making it less responsive to voters.
The Constitution sprang not from political elites’ desires to limit the extent of the Revolution, but rather from eighteenth century conceptions of liberty drawn from Enlightenment authors such as John Locke. Eighteenth century Americans did not necessarily favor abstract notions of “limited” versus “strong” government. They debated the relative risks of too strong of a government and no government at all as threats to liberty. The framers wanted the new government to be able to react swiftly and strongly to foreign threats and domestic rebellions. They viewed a strong government as a necessity to protect hard-won American liberties and the Articles of Confederation did not have such a strong government.
