Question

Now, read this piece of John Adams's argument in defense of the soldiers. What are the main points of Adams's argument? Check all of the boxes that apply. The soldiers had a right to defend themselves. "If an assault was made to endanger their lives, the law is clear, they had a right to kill in their own defense; if it was not so severe as to endanger their lives, yet if they were assaulted at all, struck and abused by blows of any sort, by snow-balls, oyster-shells, cinders, clubs, or sticks of any kind; this was a provocation, for which the law reduces the offence.” The soldiers should not have fired their weapons.
