| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this thesis is to show the development of the demoeracy of early Rhode Island by progressive steps. Through the inspiration of the political and theological views of Roger Williams, Providence was founded. In 1644 the towns of Providence, Warwick, Newport and Portsmouth united under one charter. In 1663 another liberal charter was granted by Charles II. The progress of government is traced from 1636-1700. | |
