| The "Boston Pamphlet"
by Boston Committee of Correspondence (09/01/1772)
Alarmed by Britain’s decision to remove the colonial assembly’s right to pay the governor’s and judges’ salaries -- thus removing any power it might wield over royal officials -- a group of Boston citizens led by Samuel Adams, James Otis, and Joseph Warren formed a citizens’ committee to oppose the action. The committee compiled a three-part document soon known as the “Boston Pamphlet” and distributed it throughout the colony. The document (1) asserted the colonists’ rights as men under natural law, as Christians under God’s law in the New Testament, and as British subjects under the British constitution; (2) listed twelve violations of those rights by Britain; and (3) invited response from other Massachusetts towns. Soon over one hundred new town “committees of correspondence” had been formed in Massachusetts. |  |

| | WILSON'S DESTINY, Part I
by Byron King (04/07/2004)
The Daily Reckoning PRESENTS: The 16th and 17th
constitutional amendments... the Federal Reserve... would it
surprise anyone to learn that these "tools" were
instrumental in shaping the past century? Below, our friend
Byron King takes a look at the man who first wielded them -
the 28th President of the United States. | |
| | WILSON'S DESTINY, Part II
by Byron King (04/08/2004)
The Daily Reckoning PRESENTS: Were it not for Woodrow
Wilson, what sort of world would we be living in today?
Without Wilson's legacy of "federal credit, national debt,
a large centralized government, and an imperious... moral
ideology built and financed thereon," argues Byron King,
would we recognize our own times? | |
