                        <note>Thomas Dorr was born into privilege in <date when="1805-11">November 1805</date>, a scion of one of Rhode Island’s wealthiest families. His father, <persName ref="#sullivan_dorr">Sullivan Dorr</persName>, was a <placeName ref="#providence_ri">Providence</placeName> businessman and prominent <placeName ref="#china">China</placeName> trade merchant. Educated at <orgName ref="#phillips_exeter">Phillips Exeter Academy</orgName> in <placeName ref="#nh">New Hampshire</placeName> and then at <orgName ref="#harvard">Harvard University</orgName> (class of <date when="1823">1823</date>), Thomas Dorr studied law for two years in <placeName ref="#nyc">New York City</placeName> under <persName ref="#james_kent">Chancellor James Kent</persName>, the author of one of the leading American legal texts of the first half of the nineteenth century, before being admitted to the Rhode Island bar in <date when="1827">1827</date>. Dorr opened a law office on College Street, but the restless young man was not yet ready to settle down. He toured the country for almost six years and occasionally practiced maritime and commercial law in <placeName ref="#nyc">New York City</placeName> before returning to <placeName ref="#providence_ri">Providence</placeName> in <date when="1833">1833</date>. In the 1830s, Dorr championed numerous reform causes, including public education, freedom of speech, banking, anti-slavery, suffrage extension, imprisonment for debt and prison reform. Dorr began his career as a devout Whig, with a deep and abiding love of <persName>Henry Clay</persName> and <persName ref="#daniel_webster">Daniel Webster</persName>. However, disagreements over banking reform and suffrage extension led to his expulsion from the party. He would later head the equal rights wing of the state's Democratic Party. In <date when="1834">1834</date>, as a newly elected member of Rhode Island’s General Assembly, Dorr joined the Constitutionalist Party, a third-party effort that picked up the reform torch from associations of native-born workingmen. The goal of the party was to secure a new constitution that would expand the suffrage for white males and address the state's apportionment problem.
