Slonim, S.: Framers' Construction/Beardian Deconstruction

Essays on the Constitutional Design of 1787. The author refuses both Framer's and Beard's classical interpretations and argues that the tension between the overarching need to create an effective national government and the desire to preserve state autonomy shaped the final result at Philadelphia. What emerged was a strong central government within a federal framework.
