The Declaration of Rights was a forerun-
ner of the Declaration Of Independence. There
is nothing more essentially British than the
dictuln 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 If 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 a 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. 1t 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. Sucn a mat
ter would ordinarily have been considered a
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 a 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 one Of the Oldest of
the rights which every Briton claims
Such was the situation in 1884, when the
struggle began which IL 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 was the first heavy impost levied

then rapidly becoming effaced, the king owned
all the land and distributed 1t among various
favored vassals.
The sovereign in the same way regarded
the new world as If 1t had been won by the
Sword. The most extravagant Ideas prevailed
with regard to the wealth of the American
lands. 1t was at one time soberly believed
in England that gold and silver and precious
stones could be had for the taking and that
the natives were the possessors of fabulous
wealth. The king gave the charters in most
cases with the idea that he would profit great
ly from mines which would yield enormous
returns to the royal exchequer.
When the ~colonists came here they found
It necessary to make good their titles either
by peaceful bargains with the Indians or by
force of arms. From the very first the spirit
of independence was ~fostered, for tefs whlch
had to be maintained by constant vigilance
and Negotiations and by show of force did not
carry with them a deep sense of obligation.
Indeed, even at that early day, although for
the throne the colonists entertained feelings
of loyalty and devotion, a shrewd idea was
abroad that the king did not really own the
land which he had bestowed by his charter.
The conquest Of nature and Of the savages be-
got a rugged independence which as the years
went by became more and more distasteful
to the authorities in England.
Yet the idea Of separation from the crown
was Of slow growth. The forefathers main
tanned that they were British subjects, al
though not living within the realm, as indeed
was specified in some of the royal charters.
The Massachusetts, charter, for instance, sets
forth that the ~colonists shall be considered
"as IL they and every one Of them were born
within the realm Of England" AS British sub
jects, then, they maintained that they should
be entitled to representation, and therefore
each colony had It's assembly, which deter
mined upon all matters of the common veal
and established rates of taxation. It was one
OF the principles expressed in the Magma Char
Ia that the common council Of the kingdom
.was to assess an aid or to assess a scutage,'

by the mother country, which provided tor the
stamping of various legal instruments and pa
pers and contracts of all kinds, as well as dice
and playing cards.
The news of the passage of this act reused
the coIonists to fury. A galloWs was erecIeu
in what is now City Hall park, New YORK, ana
the British governor was hanged IN engy, anu
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 philadelphia
were ~yortices of the storm. So emphatic was
the protest that much Of the act was repeated
and duties were established on tea, which ac-
counted for the sudden rain OF tea In Boston
harbor. Then came the burning words of Pat
rick Henry, "Give me liberty or give me
DEATH" before the Virginia in 1878. The year
later brought the PRONUNCIATION of the Dec
~1aration of Rights and Privileges" in which 1t
was declared that every man had the right
to- life, liberty and property and that most
ancient right granted at R~unnymede, trial by
his "peers of the vicinage."
Throughout all this time Of storm and
strain the protests were made as British sub
iects, 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. me
congress of ITS made provisions for an army,
with Washington as commander, and still pc
titioned. Its petition was 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, 1776, and a
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 %.
1t was laid on the table until July !, when nine
colonies voted in favor Of 1t.
The independence resolution was actually
adopted on July 2 and promulgated to the
world on July 4, when John Hancock of Massa-
chusetts affixed to it his bold signature.
The other members Of the congress did not
sign 1t until August 2, and the impressive
scene connected with the signing was not wit
messed until nearly a 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
