John Dickinson, Letters From a Pennsylvania FarmerThere is another late act of parliament, which appears to me to be unconstitutional, and..destructive to the liberty of these colonies...The parliament unquestionably possesses a legal authority to regulate the trade of Great Britain, and all her colonies, I have looked over every statute relating to these colonies, from their first settlement to this time, and I find every one of them founded on this principle, till the Stamp Act administration...All before, are calculated to regulate trade...The raising of revenue...was never intended...Never did the British parliament [until the passage of the Stamp Act]think of imposing duties in America for the purpose of raising a revenue. [The Townshend Acts] impose duties on these colonies, not for the regulation of trade...but for the single purpose of levying money upon it.Dickinson, John, and R. T. Haines Halsey.
