[Webster, Daniel]:

THE RHODE ISLAND QUESTION. MR. WEBSTER'S ARGUMENT IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, IN THE CASE OF MARTIN LUTHER VS. LUTHER M. BORDEN AND OTHERS, JANUARY 27TH, 1848.

Washington: J. and G.S. Gideon, 1848. 20pp, disbound, else Very Good.

As part of the Dorr struggle, Webster argues that a legitimate change in government can occur only through constitutionally-established procedures. A constitution and new government can not be set up extra-constitutionally. Cohen notes that Gideon issued two printings with the same title, the other with 26 pages.
