The Three Signers: An Address by Henry C. Conrad, Esq., of Wilmington, Delaware, Before the Sons of Delaware, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Saturday Evening, January 30, 1897 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Three Signers: An Address by Henry C. Conrad, Esq., Of Wilmington, Delaware, Before the Sons of Delaware, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Saturday Evening, January 30, 1897
One of the issues which led up to the Revolution was the failure of the British Government to allow the people living in these colonies to tax themselves, and also the further denial of the right to be tried by their peers. As I understand it, in many cases of importance, the British authorities insisted upon taking the people who were to be tried, and who should have been tried here for these offenses, across the water to be tried by entire strangers to them; and they insisted that by right they were entitled to be tried by their peers.
