AUTHOR ABSTRACT: By contrast to Charles Beard's 1913 economic interpretation
of the Constitution, this article maintains that the key is the economic
policies of the various COLONIAL (later state) legislatures. Prior to independence
the colonies had strong and autonomous economic policies which they defended
vigorously against the British government. Although they resented regulation
from London, they also benefited because London kept their neighboring
colonies in line. After independence, this restraint was gone. If they
wanted the benefits of cooperation, they had to negotiate it themselves.
