When we fled from the oppressionsof kings and parliaments in Europe, to found this great Republic inAmerica, we brought with us the laws and the liberties, which formeda part of our heritage as Britons. We brought with us the idea andthe form of our legislative assemblies, composed of electedrepresentatives of the people; we brought with us the right ofpetition, as the necessary incident of such institutions. For when, in the whole history of our father-land, has the right of petitionever under...gone debate and question? Go back to the old parliamentaryrolls, coeval with Magna Charta; peruse the black-letter volumes inwhich the early laws and practices of the English monarchy are seento be recorded; and so far as you find a government to exist, youfind the right to petition that government existing also as anundeniable franchise and birthright of the humblest in the land. TheNormans came over, lance in hand, burning and trampling down everything before them, and cutting off the Saxon dynasty and the Saxonnobles at the edge of the sword; but the right of petition remaineduntouched.
