Sugar Act
Primary Source: “For if our Trade may be taxed, why not our Lands? Why not the Produce of our Lands & everything we possess or make use of? This we apprehend annihilates (destroys) our Charter Right to govern & tax ourselves. It strikes at our British privileges, which as we have never forfeited (gave up) them, we hold in common with our Fellow Subjects who are Natives of Britain. If Taxes are laid upon us in any shape without our having a legal Representation where they are laid, are we not reduced from the Character of free Subjects to the miserable State of tributary Slaves?” — Samuel Adams, The Sugar Act The Bible teaches that leaders should govern justly (Proverbs 29:4) and that we should obey God rather than unjust human authority (Acts 5:29).
How does Samuel Adams’ argument about taxation without representation connect to the biblical idea of justice and God-given freedom?
Do you think it is ever right to resist government when it is unjust? Why or why not?
