Seite 162 - When I proposed to tax America I asked the House if any gentleman would object to the right ; I repeatedly asked it, and no man would attempt to deny it. Protection and obedience are reciprocal. Great Britain protects America ; America is bound to yield obedience. If not, tell me when the Americans were emancipated ?

There are two lines in a ballad of Prior's, of a man's behaviour to his wife, so applicable to you and your colonies that I cannot help repeating them: Be to her faults a little blind : Be to her virtues very kind.
Seite 17 - Westminster : without contending this point, we beg leave just to observe that the charter of this province invests the general assembly with the power of making laws for its internal government and taxation ; and that this charter has never yet been forfeited. The parliament has a right to make all laws within the limits of their own constitution ; they claim no more.
Seite 162 - That this kingdom has the sovereign, the supreme legislative power over America, is granted. It cannot be denied; and taxation is a part of that sovereign power.
