Although the constitution of the United States of America came into being in 18th century, it is viewed as a dynamic and evolving document in the lives of the American people. By and large the original Constitution has continued to serve the Americans the way it was essentially designed by the Founding Fathers, albeit with amendments. Many influences went into the making of the American Constitution often pulling the Founding Fathers in different directions, the differences continuing to persist even in the ratification process. It is argued by some scholars that economic interests of the Framers served as the necessary fuel, igniting the formation of the American Constitution. However, such interests may have been a consideration for the Framers dealing with the problem of how to evolve a structure for the nascent country, but, economic motives reflect very little on how the document turned out to be. The paper argues that Founding Fathers’ belief in the supremacy of the constitution as the ultimate discipline on American government’s power, was the most sacrosanct assurance that kept the Framers in agreement while devising the constitution. This made constitution making the most momentous occurrence in the history of the United States of America.
