On the Freedom Walk in downtown Boston

"For if our Trade may be taxed, why not our Lands?
Why not the Produce of our Lands & everything we possess or make use of?
This we apprehend annihilates our Charter Right to govern & tax ourselves.
It strikes at our British privileges, which as we have never forfeited them,
we hold in common with our Fellow Subjects who are Natives of Britain.
If Taxes are laid upon us in any shape without our having
a legal Representation where they are laid,
are we not reduced from the Character of free Subjects
to the miserable State of tributary Slaves?"
