Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of the law that disenfranchised Roman Catholics in Rhode Island from 1719-1783, arguing that its enactment contradicted the colony's founding principles of religious liberty. The author traces the law's history, showing that it was not passed at the time alleged but was first introduced in a 1719 legal digest. Analyzing the individuals involved in the digest's creation, the author posits that the law was the work of a later generation that had strayed from the founders' ideals. The author's meticulous research overturns a long-held historical narrative, revealing that Rhode Island's founders were not responsible for the law and that its true origins lie in the political and religious climate of a later era.
