UNRULY AMERICANS AND THE ORIGINS OF THE CONSTITUTION: Was Hamilton Right?
University of Richmond history professor "Woody Holton is not out to trash the Constitution. Its success, he says, is almost impossible to exaggerate. But his lively, provocative book -- a finalist for a National Book Award -- disputes the idea that the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution to protect civil liberties. They wanted, he says, to make the United States more attractive to investors, and for that reason consciously made American government less democratic than it had been."
