Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the contentious political history of Rhode Island's constitution. The author carefully examines the constitutional debate of the 1800s, particularly the heated discussion over whether a convention or an act of the legislature should be responsible for amending or even rewriting the constitution. The author draws from legal precedents across the country, contextualizing this debate within a broader history of constitutional law in the United States. Ultimately, the work illuminates how the principles of popular sovereignty and representative government have been perpetually intertwined in the shaping of Rhode Island's constitution and influenced constitutional law throughout the nation.
