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.
