Recommended: The relationship between England and its colonies

Do these United States have an obligation to remain loyal an empire so disadvantageous, detrimental, and ruinous as the English crown? Can a people so just in temperament, so religious in character, and so manifestly destined for great and noble deeds be for any length of time so suppressed and hindered by a faraway entity as it has been under the rule of an illegitimate imperial master? Can any earthly authority rightfully deprive a man of his natural and divine rights, without also delegitimizing its own self, as well as bringing peril upon the God-given rights of all other men? Can the English crown be allowed to continue to extort and enslave the pious and prayerful population of this great continent without repercussion? To each and every one of these questions, we must answer, most emphatically, most clearly, most decisively, in the negative! …show more content…

For more than a decade, the King and his enforcers have, at different times, taxed our sugar, coffee, wine, molasses, indigo, tea, and imports of any nature. Moreover, by authority from the King, the admiralty has blockaded our ports, violated the natural rights of our fellow citizens, and marred our economic progress through wholly illegitimate seizures and undue restrictions. I resolve to affirm the sacred rights of men to be free, to be taxed only with their consent through representation, and to be left unfettered in their pursuit of virtue and the satisfaction of their

  • Taxes By Soame Jenyns Summary

    1254 Words  | 3 Pages

    Soame Jenyns, a member of the British Parliament from 1741 to 1780, wrote a pamphlet called “The Objections to the taxation consider’d” in 1765 in which he defended the Parliament’s right to tax the American colonies.

  • Analysis of Patrick Henry's Speech to the Virginia Convention

    844 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Give me liberty or give me death!” This statement from Patrick Henry’s “Speech to the Virginia Convention,” delivered to the House of Burgesses, has been quoted by many, becoming almost cliché. However, the declaration is truly understood by a select few. The unjust Stamp Act passed by the British crown in 1765, brought fame and notoriety to Henry as he spoke out against the unjust taxation without representation. Ten years later on the eve of revolution, Henry calls upon the Colonial government of which he is part, to act for the betterment of the people.

    Throughout our lives, we carry and value our own beliefs. As we face different challenges, we may be persuaded into making certain choices. However, no matter how convincing a person may be, in the end we always have the last word. Nobody likes being told what to do but we do like to hear other opinions for a different perspective. The proper way of using rhetoric is through a confident tone that is knowledgeable of their topic. The speaker should have integrity and be selfless in the sense that they are understanding towards their audience.

  • Should the British Monarchy be Abolished?

    842 Words  | 2 Pages

    In 1603 the Scottish and English monarchies were united and at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the monarchy of the United Kingdom was deprived of the decision-making privilege they once had. For the purpose of this essay, I intend to examine the many different arguments both for and against the British monarchy being abolished. Proponents argue strongly that the monarchy symbolises all that is British throughout Britain and the Commonwealth Realms. However, contrary to this, the monarchy receives exorbitant financial aid from the British taxpayers to maintain the monarchy. Does the monarchy have a place in the twenty first century?

    For my “How to do” speech my goal was to share with the class an interesting and informative way to learn something new. Due to the speeches time limit, I knew I needed to be well prepared. I wanted to be less nervous before and during my speech. While presenting I was nervous, but I didn’t really have time for these feelings to sink in because I was focused on the information I wanted to share with the audience. I enjoyed presenting in the second group of speeches so I could see my peers different types of speaking style. The audience seemed alert and interested in my topic which made it a little bit easier for me to speak, because there weren’t any distractions in the room from people not paying attention. I think part of that was because
