The Only Principles Of Public Conduct That

No Parts Of His Majesty's Dominions Can Be Taxed Without Their Consent.

[slave] Trade ... Is The Most Shocking Violation Of The Law Of Nature, Has A Direct Tendency To Diminish ... Liberty, And Makes Every Dealer In It A Tyrant, From The Director Of An African Company To The Petty Chapman [peddler].... It Is A Clear Truth, That Those Who Every Day Barter Away Other Men's Liberty Will Soon Care Little For Their Own.

There Can Be No Prescription Old Enough To Supersede The Law Of Nature And The Grant Of God Almighty, Who Has Given To All Men A Natural Right To Be Free, And They Have It Ordinarily In Their Power To Make Themselves So, If They Please.

Taxation Without Representation Is Tyranny.

The Supreme Power Cannot Take From Any Man Any Part Of His Property, Without His Consent In Person, Or By Representation.
