Summary
Manuscript petition on suffrage, submitted to the 1841-42 Convention to draft a state constitution of Rhode Island. Of note, this was part of the unsanctioned "Dorr Rebellion," when middle-class residents sought to significantly reduce the property requirements for voting. Led by Thomas Wilson Dorr, this attempt to change the constitution and a subsequent armed rebellion were unsuccessful, but they ultimately led to a new constitution which liberalized voting rights.
Note
