Summary/ How it relates to the project:
This source is a great primary document about the sugar act. The "exclusive Right of the People" There is many quotes I can use to support my thesis. This is just one. “ James Otis, a Boston lawyer and Massachusetts legislator, composes a pamphlet entitled Rights of the Colonies Asserted and Proved. If the colonists are not directly represented in Parliament, he argues, then Parliament has no authority to tax them.” This is describing the sugar act.
