Otis writes this pamphlet, and it does kind of go viral.
In America, it goes through like three editions.
It's published in London, so they're discussing it in Parliament.
Wow.
So, yeah, this is a serious piece of paper, right?
And made all the more serious by some of the crazy ideas that are being thrown out from this pamphlet.
He says, and I think he believes in his heart, that he's trying to describe British government.
He's describing what he thinks...
once existed in England, but in fact, he's kind of outlining what America is about to become.
And he even uses the phrase checks and balances to describe how they work harmoniously.
But of course, understand me, Parliament does not see it that way.
He says, the very act of taxing exercised over those who are not represented appears to me depriving them of one of their most essential rights as free men.
You know, this idea is what sort of boils down to the bumper sticker.
Taxation without representation is tyranny.
Right.
One of the central sort of mottos of the revolution.
He says parliament cannot make two and two five.
Right.
And he says, you know, the only person that can make natural law, like two and two is four, is God.
Yeah.
