The constitutional convention was where a large group of wealthy men(the founding fathers) who had their own interests to protect wrote the constitution. The men were mainly planters, slaveholders, real estate and land speculators, lenders, investors, merchants, manufacturers, shippers and holders of public securities interests. Throughout the constitution you can tell these interests are protected. The founding fathers believed that the main role of government was to protect liberty and property. These men believed in a republican form of government that was ran by property holders. These men feared a mass democracy that may start a movement that would "reduce inequalities of wealth, intelligence, talent, or virtue." These men wanted to keep economic power in the hands of the already wealthy. These men did this by creating a strong central government, and by limiting the powers of the state. These men feared the responsiveness of a state legislature to the will of the masses who would clearly seek to make the country a more fair and balanced place. The constitution supports this theory when dissected and interpreted scorrectly.
