This book chronicles Rhode Island's involvement in the Continental Congress and the process of adopting the United States Constitution. It explores the history of the state's delegates to Congress and their contributions to debates over the Constitution's ratification, placing the events within the context of Rhode Island's unique political landscape and the broader narrative of the nation's founding. Through extensive research, this work offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of state and federal powers, the challenges of uniting thirteen independent colonies, and the lasting impact of Rhode Island's role in shaping the course of American history.
