In the turbulent legal climate of nineteenth century Rhode Island, one question defined politics: who holds the power to alter a constitution? Power, law, and legitimacy collide. In this incisive constitutional law treatise, Hon. Charles S. Bradley, a leading jurist, examines the lawful mode of altering the Constitution of Rhode Island and answers his opponents in a measured yet forceful reply. First issued as a primary source pamphlet in the nineteenth century, it probes the mechanics of state constitutional amendments, the limits of legislative authority, and the place of popular sovereignty after the Dorr Rebellion Rhode Island had so recently endured. Set within the broader story of 19th century American law and American constitutional reform, it offers a clear window into how a small state confronted questions that would shape the entire nation. Today this classic stands as a foundational legal history book, a reference for legal historians and a resource for constitutional scholars tracing Rhode Island constitution history and New England legal history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For the curious reader of political thought, the student of nineteenth century Rhode Island, or the specialist in state constitutional amendments, this carefully prepared heritage title preserves an exacting legal mind wrestling with the enduring problem of constitutional change.
