B. Franklin: I know that whenever the subject of taxes has occurred in conversation where I have been
present, it has appeared to be the opinion of everyone that we could not be taxed in a Parliament where
we were not represented. But the payment of tariffs laid by the act of Parliament, as regulations of
commerce (trade), was never disputed (argued against). The Stamp Act says we shall not sell property, we
shall neither marry, unless we pay the tax, and thus it is intended to force us to pay or suffer the
consequences of refusing it
Q: If the Stamp act is not repealed (canceled), what do you think will be the consequences?
B. Franklin: A total loss of the respect the people of America have to Britain, and a loss of all the trade that
depends on that respect.
