Was The Constitution An Anti-Democratic Coup? - ft. Michael Klarman

Were the foundations of American governance engineered to protect the wealthy? Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman argues that the US Constitution was actually a counter-revolutionary coup to constrain democracy rather than protect it. 

This episode explores how debt, taxes, and money influenced the drafting of America's founding document. And whether a wealthy elite bypassed democratic institutions to secure their own financial interests and reduce populist power.

If Klarman’s historical assessment is accurate, the current era of elite-driven policy may not be an aberration, but the Constitution's underlying architecture working exactly as intended.
