The Constitution did not do much for the economic system explicitly. It did not mandate a certain type of system. That was undertaken by the government that took control. Since Great Britain operated under more of a free market system, the founders of the country also used that model for the economy. While the government has taken certain powers over the years, it has never moved to a Communist or command economy, since it has been evidenced that our economy is generally healthier than these types and this type of system is popular with those who are in power, who often make their fortunes by making use of the economic freedoms that they have. The Constitution has provided a stable government that can protect the decisions of the government, but has done nothing explicitly for the economy.
