- W2317059668 abstract "HISTORIANS have agreed that the men who made the Constitution drew their inspirations and ideas from various historical and contemporary sources apart from the American background. The Amphyctionic League, the Swiss Confederation, the British Constitution, the acts of lawgivers from Solon onwards, the ideas of philosophers from Aristotle to the great Sidney and Montesquieu, all these and many others were the materials that were molded by certain groups in the thirteen states into a constitutional system for the United States. That the Constitution was the product of both historical and contemporary experience is beyond cavil, and even the economic interpretation does not seek to vitiate the influence of history and of European political thought upon the men who, perhaps motivated by personal and private considerations, made the Constitution. There is one English philosopher whose influence appears to have been overlooked. He is Dr. Richard Price. The standard works do not indicate that he contributed to the formation of the Constitution. Warren, for example, frequently mentions Price, but only as an interested observer who, by means of correspondence with various Americans, was keeping in touch with the progress of American affairs.1 The American histories give no assessment of Price's influence upon American leaders, but I believe it can be shown that he did contribute to their thinking about the Constitution. How much influence he had cannot be determined with mathematical computations, any more than one can determine the exact extent of the influence of Tom Paine's Common Sense, yet who would deny the significance of Paine's pamphlet? If pressed, therefore, one cannot say more than that Price's ideas had some effect upon the men in America who were cognizant of them. For this reason it is improper to omit Price from the lists of those who raised an effective voice, foreign but friendly, in behalf of a stronger and more perfect Union. Can it be shown that men in America would pay heed to Price? Who was" @default.
