Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Thoughts on the Constitution of Rhode Island Progress in Rhode Island has not been merely a material progress. Education has been a matter of public concern. Schools abound, and excellent teachers, paid from the pub lic purse, are everywhere supplied. The people have be come a people of readers. Free libraries, encouraged and endowed by the State, spring up in village and hamlet to satisfy the popular thirst for knowledge. Illiteracy exists, without doubt; but if any Rhode Islander has grown up illiterate during the last forty years, the State is surely not to blame for it. I confess, I do not anticipate the great sults which some anticipate from a general addiction to ih discriminate reading. Knowledge, especially the knowledge gathered from books and newspapers, is not power until ap plied to use, nor wisdom until converted into character. Knowledge, however, merely as knowledge, is a good, un less abused, and in Rhode Island the doors of knowledge are open to all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Methods of Changing the Constitutions of the States: Especially That of Rhode Island Most of the papers in this compilation have been prepared with a view to the practical action, at the times when they were issued, of the people and the legislators of the State of Rhode Island. They were not intended as literary or didactic treatises. They relate to a subject of no slight importance in the history and institutions of our American States, settled indeed in many, yet undetermined in some, - a subject upon which but little has been written. An English nobleman, than whom no one in foreign lands is more instructed, very recently told an American citizen that he was not able to find anything in print upon the subject of the mode of changing the American State constitutions. Jameson had indeed, in his work upon conventions, written some years since, given attention to the subject. But our works upon general constitutional law hardly refer to it. The action of our States has not yet passed into written history. The purpose of the compilation is to show that there are at least two methods of constitutional change in a State constitution; the first and original one consisting in the action of a convention of delegates elected by the people to frame a new or amended constitution, and the adoption of such new constitution by vote of a majority of the people of the State; all the proceedings being conducted pursuant to a law passed by the existing government. The second method arises from an express provision of an existing constitution (first introduced about 1820), which authorizes a legislature, with certain precautions, to propose amendments of the constitution to the people, to be determined by their majority vote.

Download or read book The Constitution of Rhode Island and Equal Rights Classic Reprint written by Equal Rights Association and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitution of Rhode Island and Equal Rights IS it asked, what excuse the small minority of citizens, who prefer a suffrage so greatly restricted, offer for thus departing from the funda mental principle of American institutions, that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed? Their answer is, the danger which would accrue to good government from universal suf frage. It would seem to devolve upon them to show that we do possess an exceptionally superior government, that our elections are purer, and our public servants better, than those of other Commonwealths, where the franchise is free. This they cannot do. On the contrary, during the twenty years that Rhode Island has been ruled by a minority, corruption in politics has been rife - as bad, perhaps worse, in proportion to the num ber of inhabitants, than in any other State. We have proved no exception to the rule that the pocket borough is the most easily bought and sold, a fact which furnishes a strong argument why, since our borders cannot be extended, we should increase the voting population by broadening the basis of suffrage. As to the quality of our public servants, suffice it to say that during the twenty years past of the men who have been sent to Con gress one only, Hon. Thomas A. J enckes, has acquired an enviable national reputation, while other States, with no better material for stat-es men, have been represented during all that period by one or more men of international fame.
