Otis held the office of advocate-general at the time, and it was his duty to appear on behalf of the government.
He refused, resigned his otTice, and appeared for the people against the issue of the writs, Gridley appearing on the opposite side.
The case was argued in the Old Town House of Boston in February 1761, and the chief speech was made by Otis. His plea was fervid in its eloquence and fearless in its assertion of the rights of the colonists. Going beyond the question at issue, he dealt
...with the more fundamental question of the relation between the English in America and the home government, and argued that even if authorized by act of parliament such writs were null and void.
The young orator was elected in May of the same year a repre- sentative from Boston to the Massachusetts General Court.
To that position he was re-elected nearly every year of the re- maining active years of his life, serving there with his father.
In 1 766 he was chosen Speaker of the House of Representatives, but the choice was negatived.
