The
Stamp Act
The absurd taxation on us,
the so-called Stamp Act
was passed by the British
Parliament on March 22,
1765. The ridiculous tax is
imposed on all of us. They
require us to pay a tax on
every single piece of
paper. We cannot and will
not pay for the Britishs
actions.
The Britishs foolish wars
has cost them and so they
deserve it. The colonies
have no representation in
the Parliament, and until
we are represented as an
equal state, the colonies
refuse to pay such
preposterous amount of
money.

Thomas Paine,
Common Sense
To say that the
constitution of England
is a union of three
powers, reciprocally
checking each other, is
farcical. (1776)
The English believe their
system is flawless and
unquestionable. But the
King has disempowered the
courts into doing his
bidding.
The English system is no
longer perfect. There is no
use in remaining loyal to a

America to form its own

implemented to balance
