Why We Should Unjust Laws Benefit Great Britain
The British have murdered us, burned us, and stolen from us. They have imposed unjust laws on us, closed our harbor, and banned our assemblies. All of these laws put us at a disadvantage and benefit Great Britain. Why should we remain loyal to someone who treats us like this? We should not be governed by the British. The colonies are more than capable of protecting and governing themselves. We must fight for our independence, so we can elect our own leaders and write our own

    The reason for lack of support in England, of the colonies, was money. England set the economies up where raw materials were imported form the colonies and the industries of England manufactured the goods selling them manufactured goods back to the colonies. They even imposed a manufacturing tax on anything manufactured in the colonies. This manufacturing tax existed through too and was replaced by the GST. When the economics of this old system no longer benefited England they terminated the arrangement.…

    Patrick Henry’s argument on declaring independence on Great Britain and going to war was an inspiring speech that has shined a new light on the subject of whether to declare independence or stay loyal to a country that has done us more harm than good and has ultimately led me to become a rebel. I have become a rebel for two main reasons, our petitions that they have not noticed were an attempt at peace and the mistreatment from the last ten years. To start, petitions had not been productive whatsoever. When Britain had done something that had made us miserable, we decided to meet in the middle and make peace with Britain though petitions. Unfortunately Britain had ignored and disregarded us and our petitions, and instead, had sent us harm and…

    When the American colonies were under British control, many people realized how unfairly they were being treated. Colonists had no say in any of Parliament’s decisions. While some colonists were very upset about this, others simply sat back remained loyal to the king. These people were known as Loyalists. The colonists who became fired up when their rights were taken away were called Patriots. Since they fought for freedom, glory, and the end of colonies’ suffering, colonists should have joined the Patriot side.…

    Many; colonies remain faithful to Britain but, I am against the Britain. Colonist' are faithful to Britain because they do not have enough weapons and don't have an army to go against Britain. Although some of the colonist didn't want to be in war because they would risk their lives and they have family members. Colonist didn't have money to buy supplies, food, clothes so far British were a strong army. Although they are under British rule they have the right to vote but if they are against them they will have to confront with them. It is possible for the colonist to remain faithful but, we must declare independence and fight because of the Quartering Acts, Boston Massacre and taxes.…

    How did Britain’s “neglect” of the colonies gradually lead to independence? Britain had allowed the colonies in North America, by and large, a lot of freedom to govern themselves. The French and Indian war put Britain into staggering debt. In order to gain money, the British began to levy taxes on the colonies. The colonists objected, and this gradually led to America’s independence.…

    Dr.Martin Luther King's Jr "Letter from Birmingham Jail,(1963)" was his response to the public statement of concern and caution issued by eight religious leaders of the south. This concern addressed the controversial issues of segregation between black and white people living in Birmingham .Dr.King included numerous points with his response. One of the main points he explained was about the difference between just and unjust laws."A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God." And "Unjust law is a code that is with out of harmony with moral law (3)."…

    "Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth,"-John F. Kennedy. The king of Great Britain was imposing taxes on us without our consent. He cut off all of our trades with the world, and he has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. The question is if gaining our independence is a good idea or not? I believe we should allow him to cut all connections with us because that way we can enforce our own laws and grow as a fair country where everyone votes and are all equal. Gaining our independence will take time which we will make it without Britain.…

    As woman who has lived in the Colony of Georgia all of my 17 years, I strongly believe we should declare independence from Great Britain. Great Britain has placed unconstitutional taxes on us, both internal and external. The intolerable acts were used to try to control everything we do, and allow that royal officials are exempt from their own trials by moving the trials elsewhere, so witnesses could not testify. If we secede from Great Britain we can have our own laws and our government. My entire life I have worked hard to help my family earn money, and I have made handmade clothes, cloth, shoes and more when we boycotted British goods. The Stamp Act and Townshend Act have taken most of the little money we have, and Soldiers have overrun our home and eaten the some of the already meager food supply we have. My little brothers and sisters are starving; they cry all night and you can count every one of their ribs. I strongly believe we should secede from the British Empire.…

    It is acceptable and even necessary to to protest unjust and unfair laws, because it is morally wrong. People who were being punished inhumanely because it was the law, “My teammates and I saw a man strung up by his neck - and set on fire.(James)” Lynching was a legal crime against black as a form of punishment. This is not a law a country is suppose to allow, allow such a violent law against a certain race in a way to show superiority. No one has to right or liberty to take someone’s life for the mere enjoyment of the ability. No one knows this man’s story, “Were his children waiting up for him?(James)” There is an answer to this question, the fact is that no one knows because that man did not have a chance at fighting for his innocence and…

    The United States is homeland for millions of immigrants who risk their lives for a better existence. In Jefferson’s words, it is a nation in which “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among them are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Our nation is a country in which equal opportunity if provided for those in search of a better life and our law is meant to apply evenly to citizens and non-citizens alike. However, throughout history and even in our present day, Congress has undermined this utopian goal by passing laws which some may consider unjust.…
