Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution by Woody Holton

3.0

Spent last night and most of today slogging through this. It reads like he had a page minimum but only enough material for half it. Tons of fluff and repetition of his points. Basically, the framers didn't want The People to have too much democracy. They wanted to limit their power and the power of the states so they could create an economic system that benefited the heavily indebted federal government and the ruling elite. Reads like a research thesis with fluff.
