pamphlet : Unjust taxation by the crown
Over a century and a half ago, Sir Edward Coke suggested that we owe our allegiance to our Liege or King so long as the crown is benevolent to his subjects. So long as he (King George III) acts in the interests of his loyal subjects in the American colonies, we owe our loyalty and lives in service to him. But, when he breaks faith with us, as evident by his unjust taxation of us through the stamp act, we owe him NOTHING! If our king was to hearken to the voice of the people and render us due consideration, then we might subject ourselves to the bondage of such "intolerable acts" (though he has accused us of such crimes). However, taxation without representation is a bondage which we cannot, nay will not, long endure.
John Locke describes a social contract. Since our liege has broken faith with us through his unjust taxation, we have the right to cast off the fetters which the crown places upon us and enter a social contract derived from the consent of the governed. Should the king have his way with the stamp act and tax every scrap of paper used by the colonists, we would not be free to wipe our own butts without yielding to unjust taxation. We would have to place a taxation collection box outside every outhouse from New England to the Carolinas! Shall we endure such injustice from a monarch thousands of miles away across the vast Atlantic? I say, NAY! WE SHALL NOT!
Let the colonies unite as free and independent states. Let us cast off the taxes and injustices of an inattentive and greedy king. Shall we support his gluttony? Shall the ardor of our labor be spent for his leisure? Or should we combine to stand against this stamp act and thereby discover the power of our autonomy? I leave it to you to determine the American course - Shall we continue in serfdom to the crown or live as free men entitled to liberty by the Creator of all men?
