BONUS: Conversation with Dr. Patrick Conley | History of Democracy in Rhode Island

In this conversation with Dr. Patrick Conley we discussed when The Colony of Rhode Island had perhaps the most radical democracy in the world, how that declined in the 19th century, and Thomas Wilson Dorr's impact on Rhode Island's political history.

To learn more about the history of democracy in Rhode Island, I highly recommend checking out Democracy in Decline: Rhode Island’s Constitutional Development 1776–1841 by Dr. Patrick Conley.
