The Declaration of Rights was forerun-
ner of the Declaration of Independence. There
is nothing more essentially British than the
dictum that there shall be no taxation without
representation. OF the early American states
men only Franklin and Otis wished to have
representation in the British parliament The
others considered that their own assemblies
should be the legislative bodies entirely and
that IL any taxes were to be imposed they
should be collected only with the consent of
the colonial assemblies.
The question of taxation, however did not
enter into any controversies, for it was not
until the middle of the eighteenth century that
Great Britain, exhausted by many wars and
seeking to replenish the national treasury,
sought extraordinary means for raising reve-
nue. and her ministers proposed that the col
onies, which had been growing in wealth and
Importance, should be made to contribute to
the impoverished excheQuer. The French and
Indian war had shown the power of the col
onies and their force and had given very
definite idea of their growing wealth and i'm
portance.
Having reached the decision to tax the col
onies the ministry did not spend any time in
preliminaries It was decided that parliament
had the right to levy the taxes and the fact
that the colonies had no representation in that
body was not taken into account Such mat
ter would ordinarily have been considered
subject for delicate negotiation, but the deci
sion to tax having once been made, no time
was lost in levying it.
England had IN effect been constitutional
monarchy since the signing of the Magma
Charta in 1915 and In taxing the colonies not
represented in the common council of the
kingdom she had violated of the oldest of
the rights which every Briton claims
Such was the situation in 1854, when the
struggle began which II years later brought
forth the Declaration of independence, and the
next year brought into being the first congress
of the American colonies, which decided that
the assembly had the power to fix taxes. The
stamp act the first heavy impcst levied

nv the mother country which provided for the
stamping Of various legal instruments and pa
pers and contracts of all kinds, as well as dlce
and playing cards.
The news of the passage of this act rouSed
the colonists to fury. A gallows was erected
in what is now City Hall park, New YORK ana
the British governor was hanged in efhgy, ana
the house of Major Jones, in command OF the
British regiment was sacked. Then came the
rising of the "Sons of Liberty" and the raising
Of the liberty poles. Boston and PhlladeIphla
were worthless of the storm. So emphatic was
the protest that much of the act was repealed
and duties were established on tea Whcn ac-
counted for the sudden rain OF tea III BOSOM
harbor Then came the burning words OF Pat
rick Henry "Give liberty or give me
DEATH" before the Virginia in 1878. The year
later brought the PRONUNCIATION of the Dec
laration of Rights and Privileges IN Whlch IL
was declared that every man had the rlgn1
to" life, liberty and property and that most
ancient right granted at Runnymede trial by
his peers of the vcinage.'
Throughout all this time of storm and
strain the protests were made as British SUD
jects, and that congress which met in Carpen-
ter's hall in 1774 was still loyal to the crown.
1t petitioned the king, demonstrated with par
lament and appealed to their brethren in Eng
land Then came Lexington and Concord. The
congress of 1775 made provisions for an army,
with Washington as commander, and still Pc
titioned. It's petition refused and mer-
cenaries were hired from petty German
princes to-quoting the words of LOSING
butcher British subjects for asserting the
rights of British subjects
Richard Henry Lee Of Virginia offered the
independence resolution in June, 1875, and
committee was appointed to draft the declara-
ton, consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Ad-
ans, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and
Robert Livingston. Jefferson wrote the docu-
ment and alterations were made principally
at the suggestion Of Franklin and Adams. The
paper was submitted to congress on June 28
1t was laid on the table until July L. when nine
colonies voted in favor of it,
The independence resolution actually
adopted on July and promulgated to the
world on July T. when John Hancock Of Massa-
chusetts affixed to it his bold signature.
The other members of the congress did not
sign it until August 2, and the impressive
scene connected with the signing was not wit
messed until nearly month later, although 1t
Is popularity associated with the Fourth OF
July.
Centuries of the progress of the rights OF
man bear witness in the Declaration. That all
men are created equal and are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable rights
that among these are life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness was not new, for it was
recognized at Sinai. That governments derive
their Just powers from the consent of the gov
erned had been stated and restated in many
