Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the reasons why Rhode Island was the final state to adopt the United States Constitution. The author, Horatio Rogers, delves into the state's history of religious liberty and radicalism, which shaped their independent character and influenced their hesitation to surrender their sovereignty under a federal government. Through exploration of primary source materials such as legislative records and correspondence, the author analyzes the complex interplay of local and national interests that ultimately led Rhode Island to join the Union. The book highlights Rhode Island's unique perspective on issues such as state rights, economic policy, and the balance of power between the central government and individual states. By examining Rhode Island's journey toward ratification, the author sheds light on the challenges and compromises inherent in the formation of a new nation.
