Respond to a peer\u2019s post regarding An Economic Interpretation of the Founding Fathers,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After
\nfurther research on the Founding Fathers, it seems that they had prioritized
\nthe nation\u2019s future populations in favor of their own personal gain when
\ndrafting the Constitution. There seemed to be a small amount of input from the
\nFounding Fathers that would favor themselves, but it was not significant enough
\nto throw away the idea that they had created the Constitution for the
\nbetterment of the nation. According to Singer, a majority of the Founding
\nFathers were wealthy individuals in the shipbuilding and the slave industries
\nwhich required lots of money lending. A universal currency for the United
\nStates would benefit the nation as a whole, and the Founding Fathers were no
\nexception to this. A major reason behind why the Constitution was written is that
\nit helped to promote a strong enough Government that could perform on a
\nnational level. It would only be reasonable for any group of people who are
\ngoing to create laws\/guidelines to not write down anything that would
\njeopardize or threaten themselves; the Constitution is no exception to this
\nideal. The Articles of the Constitution had established a democratic Government
\nsystem that would greatly benefit the American people. The U.S. government system would allow for varying parties to have an opinion or say on a topic at
\nhand. If it was not for the Government system that the Articles of the
\nConstitution had put in place, America would end up in a world similar to the
\none that Thomas Hobbes had dreamt of which is one with Absolutism and a sole
\nMonarch. Though the U.S. government has its flaws, particularly with the length
\nof time it takes for any new law to pass, it certainly can be argued that our
\ncurrent system is better than anything that Absolutism would bring. The
\nFounding Fathers had witnessed firsthand what a government ruled under a
\nMonarch would look like and wanted no part in it for themselves or for the rest
\nof their country. <\/p>\n
