 Book Review
In 1854 the northern or Brod­erick Democrats gained control of the state legislature and Broderick, in an effort to undermine his opponent, called for the elec­tion of a successor to Gwin a year early.
Broderick had never practiced with the sensitive weapons and as he raised the gun, it fired and the bullet struck the ground about eight feet in front of him.
He stresses Broderick's egal­itarianism and desire for greater participation by the people-almost making him one of today's radicals who are demanding power to the people-while ignoring many of the nefarious political practices of the Broderick machine in San Francisco.

 David C Broderick
What made Broderick such an interesting figure were not only his strong support of democracy and abolitionism -- and to his credit this put him at a serious disadvantage in California politics -- but also his radical politics and indefatigable defense of the interests of the working class.
When Broderick arrived in Washington in late 1857, the major debate in the Senate of the Thirty-fifth Congress was the issue of whether to admit Kansas into the Union under the Lecompton Constitution.
The "progress, refinement and civilization," Broderick stated, which Hammond so proudly claimed to emanate from the ruling class was in fact the product of the hard labor of the "mudsills," of the working class constituted of all the fl and white slaves who toiled away in anonymity for the benefit of the ruling class.
