Events leading to the American Rev.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
During the late seventeen hundreds, many tumultuous events resulted in
|
|||
|
|
Colonial opposition to Great Britain. The conditions of rights of the
|
|||
|
|
colonists will slowly be changed as the constriction of the parliament
|
|||
|
|
becomes more and more intolerable. During the Seven Years' War England was
|
|||
|
|
not only alarmed by the colonists' insistence on trading with the enemy,
|
|||
|
|
but also with Boston merchants hiring James Otis inorder to protest the
|
|||
|
|
legality of the writs of assistance (general search warrants) used to hunt
|
|||
|
|
out smuggled goods. "let the parliament lay what burthens they please on
|
|||
|
|
us, we must, it is our duty to submit and patiently bear them, till they
|
|||
|
|
will be pleased to relieve us....". This is a very strong dictum, that in
|
|||
|
|
1764, the colonists were of a submissive nature, and were weakly pleading
|
|||
|
|
for self-autonomy. This small fire of anger will become a huge
|
|||
|
|
conflagration as the rights are slowly rescinded.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On October 19, 1765 the Stamp Act Congress and Parliamentary Taxation
|
|||
|
|
committee's passed some laws that attempted to strengthen the grip of the
|
|||
|
|
English crown. "I.That his Majesty's subjects in these colonies, owe the
|
|||
|
|
same allegiance to the Crown of Great Britain that is owing from his
|
|||
|
|
subjects born within the realm, and all due subordination to that august
|
|||
|
|
body, the Parliament of Great Britain." This statement can be used as a
|
|||
|
|
summation of the entire document that the Stamp Act Congress had initiated.
|
|||
|
|
The statement depicts the colonists has having to be submissive and servile
|
|||
|
|
in the view of Great Britain, this policy angered the colonists very much,
|
|||
|
|
and was another component of the transition of the colonists' rights and
|
|||
|
|
liberties.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When the Declatory Act was passed in March of 1766, many colonies were
|
|||
|
|
attempting to claim that they were "seceding" from England. "Whereas
|
|||
|
|
several of the houses of representatives in his Majesty's colonies and
|
|||
|
|
plantations in America, have of late, against law, or to the general
|
|||
|
|
assemblies of the same, the sole and exclusive right of imposing duties and
|
|||
|
|
taxes upon his Majesty's subjects in the said colonies....be it declared
|
|||
|
|
...., that the said colonies and plantations in America, have been, are,
|
|||
|
|
and of right ought to be, subordinate unto, and dependent upon the imperial
|
|||
|
|
Crown and Parliament of Great Britain;". The Parliament of course denounced
|
|||
|
|
the attempt at independance and still dogmatilcally passed the following
|
|||
|
|
law to show that the colonists were still british subjects. Again, the
|
|||
|
|
colonists were infuriated and later will resist the british imperialism on
|
|||
|
|
the colonies.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"All before, are calculated to regulate trade, and preserve prpromote
|
|||
|
|
a mutually beneficial intercourse between the several constituent parts of
|
|||
|
|
the empite"", yet those duties were always imposed with design to restrain
|
|||
|
|
the commerce of one part". This statement by the colonist (John Dickinson),
|
|||
|
|
shows that th sole rason for new taxes is just for the British gov't to
|
|||
|
|
make money, at the expense of the economy of the colonies. Dickinson makes
|
|||
|
|
a important distinction between the rights of the colonies and the
|
|||
|
|
authority of the parliament. Dickinson's comments were ubiquitous among the
|
|||
|
|
colonists, and thus infuriated them to rebellion, and the seizure of basic
|
|||
|
|
democratic rights.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"From necessity of the case, and a regard to the mutual interest of
|
|||
|
|
both countries, we cheerfully consent to the operation of such acts of the
|
|||
|
|
British parliament as are bona fide restrained to the regulation of our
|
|||
|
|
external commerce, for the purpose of securing the commercial advantages of
|
|||
|
|
the whole empire to the mother country , and the commercial benefits of
|
|||
|
|
it's respective members excluding every idea of taxation, internal or
|
|||
|
|
external, for raising a revenue on the subjects in America without their
|
|||
|
|
consent ...." The continental congress had presented it's colonial rights.
|
|||
|
|
These rights enable the colonies to be more autonomous with exception to
|
|||
|
|
those several states who are under the british control. One important
|
|||
|
|
element of the document, is the idea of taxation without representation;
|
|||
|
|
the said that raising taxes without consent was illegal and that the
|
|||
|
|
commercial benefits of the colony should be shared within the colonies,
|
|||
|
|
instead of England becoming more and more economically prosperous. The
|
|||
|
|
whole idea of mercantilism was about to be crushed, due to this idea, of
|
|||
|
|
self-autonomy with respect to colonial economics.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Ye that oppose independence now, ye know not what ye do, ye are
|
|||
|
|
opening a door to eternal tyranny....". This statement made by Thomas Paine
|
|||
|
|
shows the foreshadowing, of what colonists would do. The British are trying
|
|||
|
|
to prevent independence, and from doing so, they are being tyrannical.
|
|||
|
|
Again, the rights of the colonists are being questioned and rebellion
|
|||
|
|
shortly will be forthcoming.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these
|
|||
|
|
ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to
|
|||
|
|
institute new government, laying it's foundations on such principles and
|
|||
|
|
organizing it's powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to
|
|||
|
|
effect their safety and happiness.". What the declaration is really saying,
|
|||
|
|
is that a society who has no or little rights (such as the colonies) should
|
|||
|
|
be destroyed, thus separation from England. A new society would follow,
|
|||
|
|
where the people of the society would have these rights necessary for
|
|||
|
|
self-autonomy. The Declaration of Independence was a strong justification
|
|||
|
|
for revolution. The Revolution follows the Declaration of Independence,
|
|||
|
|
where a transition occurs. The transition has to do with the rights of the
|
|||
|
|
colonists. The colonists acquire their rights through resistance to british
|
|||
|
|
imperial conformity, by resisting certain policies detrimental to the
|
|||
|
|
inalienable rights of a democracy. The transitional period was from 1760's
|
|||
|
|
to 1770's. This is a crucial period of time, because this is where the
|
|||
|
|
center of power is transferred from the british government (Parliament) to
|
|||
|
|
the colonial citizens. A major component to this center of power was the
|
|||
|
|
rights of the colonists, the colonists gained their rights through
|
|||
|
|
resistence to an imperial power. This transition is depicted through the
|
|||
|
|
progression of time in the documents.
