Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous events surrounding the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island, a political upheaval that shook the foundations of American democracy in the 1840s. The author, through a meticulous examination of primary sources, exposes the machinations of Thomas W. Dorr, a lawyer and politician who sought to establish a new constitution for Rhode Island, defying the existing charter government. The rebellion, characterized by armed conflict and the imprisonment of Dorr, sparked passionate debates about the nature of popular sovereignty and the rights of minorities in a democratic society. The book meticulously dissects the arguments presented by both sides, including the controversial doctrines championed by Dorr and his supporters regarding the right of a majority to unilaterally change the fundamental laws of a state. The author skillfully lays bare the complexities of the rebellion, unveiling the underlying motivations of the participants and the deep-seated political and social divisions that fueled the conflict. This compelling historical account sheds light on the enduring challenges of balancing individual rights with the will of the majority, issues that continue to resonate in American political discourse today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331292227_0
