Yes, the people of Rhode Island have a say in government matters through various democratic processes, including voting in elections for state and local officials. Citizens can also participate in public hearings, town hall meetings, and referendums to express their opinions and influence legislation. Additionally, Rhode Island's constitution includes provisions for citizen initiatives and referenda, allowing voters to directly propose or reject laws. Overall, these mechanisms enable residents to engage actively in their governance.

Why did Rhode Island refuse to send delegation to the convention?

Rhode Island's leaders did not want a national government interfering in its affairs and opposed the creation of a strong, central government. A Rhode Island delegate quoted, "I will not have anything to do with revising the Articles of Confederation. They are fine as they are. Rhode Island won't be bossed about by its larger, more populous neighbors." Rhode Island feared of Constitutional Convention's newly proposed system that would be detrimental to Rhode Island's economy.
