Question

My position is this repeat it will maintain it to my last hour,-taxation and representation are

inseparable; this position is founded on the laws of nature, it is more, it is itself an eternal law of
nature, for whatever is a man's own, is absolutely his own; no man has a right to take it from him
without his consent, either expressed by himself or representative; whoever attempts do it,
attempts an injury, whoever does it, commits a robbery, he throws down and destroys the distinction
between liberty and slavery.
