Some people see the Founders of our constitution
as capitalists, out only to benefit themselves and
their bank accounts, and yet others see them as
people who were only out to benefit the actual
people of the United States. In my opinion, every
man that was involved with writing the
constitution was a little of both. Each was out to
better his situation, yet I also believe that each
was out to better the actual publics interests.
All in all the Founders agreed upon a great
document which set up ...
