To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had the Congrefs attended to the general principles of the Britifli Conftitution, they might have informed them- felves, that His Majefty, without the inter^ pofition of the two other branches of the Legik lature, might have permitted the inhabitants of Canada to remain for ever under French laws. There is no maxim in the Law of England more generally known or lefs controverted than, That in conquered or ceded countries, which have al- ready laws of their own, fuch laws remain in full force, ti...ll they are altered and changed by the Sovereign. Had His Majefty, therefore, enter- tained fuch defigns, as the Congrefs obliquely lay to his charge, why mould he call in the aid of the Legiflature to execute what was already done by the Common Law ? The Congrefs will not, furely, affirm, that the fyftem of govern- ment eftablilhed by the Legiflature in Quebec, is fo arbitrary in itfelf, or fo fit for the purpofes of defpotifm, as the Conflitution which fubfift- ed in that Province under the French.
