The Rhode Island Question (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the 1844 Supreme Court case of Martin Luther vs. Luther M. Borden et al., and the broader question of the legitimacy of changing a state government without following established legal processes. The author argues that the judiciary cannot determine sovereignty disputes, and that only the United States government can decide which state government is legitimate in cases of insurrection. The author also argues that the Rhode Island government acted appropriately in declaring martial law and suppressing the rebellion led by Thomas Dorr, and that Dorr's group was not a legitimate government. Ultimately, the book provides insights into the nature of American federalism and the limits of judicial power in matters of sovereignty.
