Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Governor Johnston´s Speech on American Affairs: On the Address in Answer to the King´s Speech, 1776 They admit you have the power of limiting the means by which they may acquire property; but they deny you the power of disposing of this property after it is so acquired. In his Majesty´s speech many general undefined axioms prevail: "To be a subject of Great Britain, with all its consequences, is to be the freest member of any civil society in the known world." All America with one voice agree in this truth; their writings and their actions proclaim their belief; but they maintain, as I assert in their behalf, that one of the unalienable consequences of that situation, is the giving and granting of aids for the support of government, according to the exigency that shall appear to their own understanding; and that to tax them in an assembly where they have no representatives, and by men who have no interest in the subsidy they impose, is contrary to the spirit of the British constitution, and, in its consequences, must deprive them of all the essential rights of a British subject. Another essential right of a British subject is trial by a jury. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
