	History of the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Constitution, by contrast, established a strong central, or federal, government with broad powers to regulate relations between the states and with sole responsibility in such areas as foreign affairs and defense.
		The large states argued in favor of proportional representation in the legislature--that is, each state should have voting power according to its population, calling equal representation, "confessedly unjust." The small states, fearing domination by the large ones, insisted on equal representation for all states.
		New York was one of the largest states at the time, but two of its three representatives (Hamilton being the exception) favored an equal represenation, as part of their desire to see maximum autonomy for the states.

	United States Constitution
		The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America and is the oldest written national constitution still in force.
		States took it so lightly that their representatives were often absent, and the national legislature was very frequently blocked from doing anything, even ineffectual things, pending appearance of a quorum.
		The authors of the Constitution were clearly aware that changes would be needed from time to time if the Constitution was to endure and cope with the effects of the anticipated growth of the nation.

	Ben's Guide (6-8): The Constitution -- History of the Constitution
		The states were very different from each other; however, they realized that in order to grow and prosper, they needed the other states.
		Thus, the government was dependent on the willingness of the various states to carry out its measures, and often the states refused to cooperate.
		Each state would be equally represented in the Senate, with two delegates, while representation in the House of Representatives would be based upon population.

	Amazon.com: A People's History of the United States : 1492-Present (Perennial Classics): Books: Howard Zinn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		According to this classic of revisionist American history, narratives of national unity and progress are a smoke screen disguising the ceaseless conflict between elites and the masses whom they oppress and exploit.
		People's History frontally attacks the predominant assumption among most Americans -- shamelessly hammered into schoolkids' heads and puppeted ad nauseum in popular media -- that the USA is somehow morally superior to the rest of the world.
		People's History is a head-on challenge to that deep-down belief among so many Americans that their past is, apart from the occasional teeny-tiny blemish (like slavery or the Native American genocide, for those who care to remember), somehow more pure and altruistic than the rest of the viscious planet's.
