Beschreibung

Printed wraps. 26 pp. Pertaining to the Dorr Rebellion of 1841 and 1842 in which disenfranchised voters in Rhode Island established a new constitution granting broader voting rights, in contrast to the original Rhode Island charter. In Luther v. Borden, it was argued that Borden had no authority to search the home of Luther (a Dorr supporter) as the Rhode Island charter was unconstitutional and thus did not grant Borden legitimate rights. In GOOD condition. Vertical crease present to the pamphlet, with moderate uneven darkening, minor soiling and a faint ownership signature, in pencil, at the upper front cover. Some creasing to the wraps, with light scuffing and creasing along the extremities. Interior clean and solid.
