Abstract
"John Phillip Reid addresses the central constitutional issues that divided the American colonists from their English legislators: the authority to tax, the authority to legislate, the security of rights, the nature of law, the foundation of constitutional government in custom and contractarian theory, and the search for a constitutional settlement. It was the exercise of legislation-the subject of this study-that cast the constitutional die for rebellion." - Voila
