Democracy Vindicated And Dorrism Unveiled is a book written by Dexter Randall in 1846. The book examines the political movement known as Dorrism, which took place in Rhode Island during the mid-19th century. The movement sought to expand voting rights to all white men, regardless of property ownership, and to create a new state constitution that would reflect this change. Randall argues that the Dorrists were misguided in their efforts and that their actions were both illegal and unconstitutional. He also defends the existing state constitution and the democratic process it represents. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the Dorr War, a failed attempt by the Dorrists to overthrow the state government and establish a new one. Overall, Democracy Vindicated And Dorrism Unveiled is a historical account of an important moment in American democracy and a defense of the principles of the Constitution. It offers insights into the debates and tensions surrounding voting rights and democratic representation in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
