According to Charles Beard the Constitution was an "economical" document rather than a "political" document. Essentially his thesis is that the Constitution was written by a bunch of rich, land owning white guys, in order to benefit rich, land owning white guys. Even Beard admitted that his theory is impossible to prove, but his work, "An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States" is still in print and is a very interesting read.
