Some who think Beard has done creditable work: Jackson Turner Main, "Charles A. Beard and the Constitution" in the William and Mary Quarterly (I believe sometime between 1958 and 1964 --- I don't have the exact cite); Robert A. McGuire and Robert L. Ohsfeldt, "Economic Interests and the American Constitution: A Quantitative Rehabilitation of Charles A. Beard", *Journal of Economic History*, Vol. XLIV, No. 2 (June 1984); Robert A. McGuire and Robert L. Ohsfeldt "An Economic Model of Voting Behavior over Specific Issues at the Constitutional Convention of 1787", *Journal of Economic History*, Vol. XLVI, No. 1 (March 1986).
