To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was a strong attachment on the part of the colonies to the mother country, and a sincere desire to maintain their connection with her. They claimed only to be independent of Parliament. The principle they then asserted, I need not say to Boston school boys, was one recognized for a century in the British Constitution, and well expressed in the Fairfax resolutions, reported by Washington, as " the fundamental principle of the peo- ple's being governed by no laws, to which they have not giv...en their consent by representatives freely chosen by themselves. " They denied the right of Parliament to 20 legislate for them, because they were not represented in it. The character of the right asserted and the time it came into dispute, strikingly combined to bring about in- dependence. To surrender the right was political slavery. To recognize it by conceding a representation in Parlia- ment an assumed impossibility, from the distant situation of the colonies. Science, anticipating its revelations by only half a century, would have resolved the difficulty, and prevented the republic.
