563 Words3 Pages

I am sure we all remember why we sailed on a voyage across the Atlantic and went through many hardships. That is so we can live in a land where we all can start a new life with better opportunities. But is that what we really have? It is clear that King George III is not treating us how he would treat his citizens when we are still his people. He’s ignoring our complaints and needs and is making up laws that are unfair and brutal. Remember how hard we fought in the French-Indian War. Now we are the ones who has to pay its debt, even when we are not allowed to live the land that we won, thanks to the Proclamation of 1763!Don’t you all think it’s time to rebel against this government of unjust power? Why should we be loyal to someone who does not consider our …show more content…

The first law under effect, has closed Boston Harbor to all shipping until we pay back for their tea that we dumped and show them proper respect. First of all, we will not show the British any further respect for they have no respect for us. But the problem for us is how will be be able to proceed our businesses and trading when Boston Harbor is closed. The second law now puts Massachusetts in complete British authority, in which now our governors are appointed by King George III. With this law in effect, it is considered a violation for us to hold town meetings without the governor’s permission. This means we have no freedom of discussion amongst the colonies and no rights for electing or governors.The third law puts British soldiers, who are accused of murder, to be ‘fairly’ tried in England instead of the colonies. This is a disadvantage for us since those soldiers can possible escape justice back in their homeland. And finally, the last law requires us to provide shelter and food for more British soldiers who are sent to enforce these laws. Many of us are most frustrated with this

  • Summary Of Boston Massacre Oration, 1772 By Joseph Warren

    I choose to read “Boston Massacre Oration, March 5, 1772” by Joseph Warren. In this document, he points out how to people of the province have no representation at the British House of Commons. The citizens of the province should have the constitutional right to elect or choose someone to represent them and if they so choose to create a bill for taxations, but without representation the imposing of taxes on the colonies is wrong. One of the many reasons that taxation was so high for the colonists was because the British wanted to make a profit without having to provide any services, one of the main purposes of founding the colony was so they could be taxed. If the colonies did not submit to the taxation they would have their homes and land

    Most of the levied taxes and implemented laws are believed that they were unconstitutional and that Great Britain did not consider their opinions. As the tension between the British and the American colonists grows, the colonists become more fearful of the British’s rule. According to document five, the British has a huge advantage over the colonists because it states that they have the authority to make laws that the colonists must abide by at all costs. The colonists believe that there are only two choices to defend them - the colonists- from the enormous power: “choosing an unconditional submission to the tyranny of irritated [British officials], or resistance by force” (Document five). According to document four, the colonists were that they will become slaves to the British.

    In the Declaration of Rights and Grievances issued by the Stamp Act Congress, they claimed that Parliament lacked the power to tax the colonies because they had no representation. While the Stamp Act was repealed, the colonists were never given representation in Parliament. In the “Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms”, issued by the Second Continental Congress, this same issue was cited as a justification for fighting. “[The British declare] that parliament can ‘of right make laws to bind us in all cases whatsoever.’ What is to defend us against so enormous, so unlimited power?”

    John Dickinson, a Pennsylvanian political leader, stated that “[The Townsend Acts claim the authority] to impose duties on these colonies, not for the regulation of trade… but for the single purpose of levying money upon us” (Dickinson, Document 2). Up until this point, Dickinson believed that the taxes the British put on the colonists were reasonable because they were put in place to regulate trade. However, now taxes are being put on the colonists just for the sake of acquiring money from them. In doing this, the British government display their tyrannical nature, choosing to tax the colonists just because they can. Additionally, the colonists have no say in the passing of the Townshend Act, or any other act for that matter, because they had no representation at Parliament.

  • Why Were The American Colonies Justified

    246 Words  | 1 Pages

    Many of the reasons the American colonies believed they were justified in their rebellion from England lay in trade and taxes. When George III inherited the throne at the end of the Seven Years’ War England’s debt had risen to 145 million pounds and his chief minister believed that the American colonies needed to help shoulder the debt. (Nash, et al., 2007. , p. 134) In attempting to collect these taxes from the colonies to relieve the mounting debt Parliament passed a range of acts, which led to discontent among the colonists as many of them restricted trade, their political maneuverability and left many believing they infringed upon their “right to be taxed only by their own consent.”
