Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a conflict that arose when a group of Rhode Islanders, led by Thomas Dorr, attempted to overthrow the existing charter government and establish a new constitution. The author delves into the historical context of Rhode Island's unique charter, which granted significant autonomy to the colony and its citizens. The book explores the arguments and justifications put forth by both sides of the conflict, shedding light on the complex issues of sovereignty, majority rule, and the limits of government authority. Ultimately, the book underscores the importance of understanding the historical foundations and principles that shape our understanding of democracy and the balance between individual rights and collective power.
