Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy Vindicated and Dorrism Unveiled The peculiar and unsettled condition of our political affairs, resulting from an indulgence of the fatal errors, and the prosecution of the ill-advised measures, which have for the last few years, and still continue to interrupt private and public tranquillity-lias induced me to address, once more, my Fellow-Citizens, and especially the legitimate Democracy, with whom I have so long labored in the noble struggle of sustaining true Republican principles. My apology for this, will be found in an earnest desire to correct, by unveiling the source of those errors, and exposing the fallacies of those measures, and to enable all to shun and avoid the dangerous and pernicious consequences of similar ones, in the future. No one of ordinary observation can escape from the appalling spectacle, which everywhere meets the view, of opposite factions, coalescing together-each seeking to circumvent the other-societies rent, by political schisms and excited feelings - public opinion diseased, by the contagions of new heresies-interchanges of social and Christian charities paralized-currents of justice in our judicial forums and trials by juries swayed by partisan prejudices and discipline-apostacy invited and rewarded-old friends denounced-new ones idolized- cliques, of despicable tendencies, predominant-incompetent par-tizans promoted-insubordination encouraged and patronized- MAN-WORSHIP substituted for principles-" ancient landmarks" of parties obliterated-Public Presses subsidized and degraded. These, Fellow-Citizens, are some of the deplorable results entailed upon our coinmunity, by the prosecution of measures alike incompatible with the civil institutions, and forbidden by the laws and constitution of our common country. Nor is it less to be regretted, that unscrupulous demagogues and eager aspirants to distinction, instead of directing their efforts to reform such abuses, and to check their pernicious influences.

Download or read book The Rhode Island State Constitution written by Patrick T. Conley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-11 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhode Island has a long history of constitutional governance. Beginning in 1636, Rhode Island's constitution has been shaped by revolution, nation-building, tumult, and further changes wrought by everything from neo-liberalism to gay rights. The result has been a living document reflecting conflicting and changing values, making the Rhode Island constitution an essential resource for understanding the cultural history of this state. In The Rhode Island State Constitution Patrick T. Conley and Robert J. Flanders provide an outstanding constitutional and historical account of the state's governing charter. In addition to an overview of Rhode Island's constitutional history, it provides an in-depth, section-by-section analysis of the entire constitution, detailing the many significant changes that have been made since its initial drafting. This treatment, along with a table of cases, index, and bibliography provides an unsurpassed reference guide for students, scholars, and practitioners of Rhode Island's constitution. Previously published by Greenwood, this title has been brought back in to circulation by Oxford University Press with new verve. Re-printed with standardization of content organization in order to facilitate research across the series, this title, as with all titles in the series, is set to join the dynamic revision cycle of The Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States. The Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States is an important series that reflects a renewed international interest in constitutional history and provides expert insight into each of the 50 state constitutions. Each volume in this innovative series contains a historical overview of the state's constitutional development, a section-by-section analysis of its current constitution, and a comprehensive guide to further research. Under the expert editorship of Professor G. Alan Tarr, Director of the Center on State Constitutional Studies at Rutgers University, this series provides essential reference tools for understanding state constitutional law. Books in the series can be purchased individually or as part of a complete set, giving readers unmatched access to these important political documents.

Download or read book The People's Martyr written by Erik J. Chaput and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1840s Rhode Island, the state’s seventeenth-century colonial charter remained in force and restricted suffrage to property owners, effectively disenfranchising 60 percent of potential voters. Thomas Wilson Dorr’s failed attempt to rectify that situation through constitutional reform ultimately led to an armed insurrection that was quickly quashed—and to a stiff sentence for Dorr himself. Nevertheless, as Erik Chaput shows, the Dorr Rebellion stands as a critical moment of American history during the two decades of fractious sectional politics leading up to the Civil War. This uprising was the only revolutionary republican movement in the antebellum period that claimed the people’s sovereignty as the basis for the right to alter or abolish a form of government. Equally important, it influenced the outcomes of important elections throughout northern states in the early 1840s and foreshadowed the breakup of the national Democratic Party in 1860. Through his spellbinding and engaging narrative, Chaput sets the rebellion in the context of national affairs—especially the abolitionist movement. While Dorr supported the rights of African Americans, a majority of delegates to the “People’s Convention” favored a whites-only clause to ensure the proposed constitution’s passage, which brought abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass, Parker Pillsbury, and Abby Kelley to Rhode Island to protest. Meanwhile, Dorr’s ideology of the people’s sovereignty sparked profound fears among Southern politicians regarding its potential to trigger slave insurrections. Drawing upon years of extensive archival research, Chaput’s book provides the first scholarly biography of Dorr, as well as the most detailed account of the rebellion yet published. In it, Chaput tackles issues of race and gender and carries the story forward into the 1850s to examine the transformation of Dorr’s ideology into the more familiar refrain of popular sovereignty. Chaput demonstrates how the rebellion’s real aims and significance were far broader than have been supposed, encompassing seemingly conflicting issues including popular sovereignty, antislavery, land reform, and states’ rights. The People’s Martyr is a definitive look at a key event in our history that further defined the nature of American democracy and the form of constitutionalism we now hold as inviolable.
