One of the main differences of interpretation between Charles Beard and Carol Berkin is their point of view on the Constitution and the founding fathers.

Charles Beard is the author of An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States. In this work published in 1913, the author argued that the Constitution of the United States was formulated to serve the interests of wealthy members of the upper class of society.

One of his most controversial statements is his claim about the Founding Fathers, whom he points out as belonging to the upper-class group and who wrote the Constitution to defend their rights and interests.

On the other hand, Carol Berkin is the author of the book The Bill of Rights: The Fight to Secure America's Liberties, published in 2015. In this book, she exposes her interpretation of the process of creation of the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of Rights.

Her interpretation of these historical events is framed in a vision of the founding fathers as mere mortals who ignored the possibility that the new government they were building would last for many years.

Based on the above, it can be inferred that Carol Berkin and Charles Beard have different views of the Constitution and the founding fathers such as:

  • Charles considers that they wrote the constitution for their convenience.
  • Carol describes them as ordinary people who wanted to change their situation and establish a government for all.

Answer:

The United States adopted a policy of expansionism in the neo-colonial world.

Explanation:

Though the United States possesses many positive attributes from religious tolerance to a political system that protects the independence of the citizen. The operation of its foreign policy was dictated mainly by its relative strength and its fundamentally competitive spirit. In the second half of the twentieth century, the U.S acts like a guardian to the world that resulted in proxy wars, fought during the Cold War. Millions of people died because of the interference of the U.S in their domestic policies.
