PLEASE HELP Document 3: The Townshend Acts
The next year, 1767. Parliament passed a new series of taxes called the Townshend Acts. American colonists now had to pay
taxes on a number of popular British goods that they imported from England. These included items such as tea, paints,
glass, ink, and dyes. Though these taxes were actually quite small, the outcry from many American leaders was huge. John
Dickinson was a leading member of Pennsylvania's colonial government. He protested these taxes in a series of newspaper articles. The following excerpts come from those articles. There is another ... act of Parliament which appears to me to be unconstitutional, and destructive to the liberty of these colonies Most colonists accepted Parliament's authority to regulate trade. But Dickinson and many other colonial leaders were. angry that the primary purpose of these taxes was to raise revenue for the British government. Three years earlier. John Adams had protested this in his attack on the Stamp Act. Dickinson agreed. Taxing the American colonists to raise money for the British government was unconstitutional. It was, as Dickinson said:
A violation of our rights... to raise money upon us WITHOUT OUR CONSENT
Later in this article, Dickinson pleaded with his fellow American colonists:
... my dear countrymen, ROUSE yourselves, and behold the ruin hanging over your heads. If you... admit that ... Britain may (tax] us, for the purpose of levying money... without our consent... (then) we are... slaves
