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.

What did President Johnson's escalation of the Vietnam War and President Nixon's involvement in covering up the Watergate scanda
Vesnalui [34]
The correct answer is "Elected leaders were capable of abusing their power."

For Lyndon B. Johnson, he abused the powers given to him in the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed by the United States Congress. His massive escalation in Vietnam despite the lack of US success shows how he abused his executive power.

For Richard Nixon, he tried to cover up a huge break in to the Democratic National Convention headquarters at the Watergate complex. He tried to use the excuse of "executive privilege" as a means to keep his recorded conversations from the American public.
