Download or read book Taxation in Colonial America written by Alvin Rabushka and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 968 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxation in Colonial America examines life in the thirteen original American colonies through the revealing lens of the taxes levied on and by the colonists. Spanning the turbulent years from the founding of the Jamestown settlement to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Alvin Rabushka provides the definitive history of taxation in the colonial era, and sets it against the backdrop of enormous economic, political, and social upheaval in the colonies and Europe. Rabushka shows how the colonists strove to minimize, avoid, and evade British and local taxation, and how they used tax incentives to foster settlement. He describes the systems of public finance they created to reduce taxation, and reveals how they gained control over taxes through elected representatives in colonial legislatures. Rabushka takes a comprehensive look at the external taxes imposed on the colonists by Britain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, as well as internal direct taxes like poll and income taxes. He examines indirect taxes like duties and tonnage fees, as well as county and town taxes, church and education taxes, bounties, and other charges. He links the types and amounts of taxes with the means of payment--be it gold coins, agricultural commodities, wampum, or furs--and he compares tax systems and burdens among the colonies and with Britain. This book brings the colonial period to life in all its rich complexity, and shows how colonial attitudes toward taxation offer a unique window into the causes of the revolution.

Download or read book The Concept of Representation in the Age of the American Revolution written by John Phillip Reid and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Americans did not rebel from Great Britain because they wanted a different government. They rebelled because they believed that Parliament was violating constitutional precepts. Colonial Whigs did not fight for American rights. They fought for English rights."—from the Preface John Phillip Reid goes on to argue that it was generally the application, not the definition, of these rights that was disputed. The sole—and critical—exception concerned the right of representation. American perceptions of the responsibility of representatives to their constituents, the necessity of equal representation, and the constitutional function of consent had diverged gradually, but significantly, from British tradition. Drawing on his mastery of eighteenth-century legal thought, Reid explores the origins and shifting meanings of representation, consent, arbitrary rule, and constitution. He demonstrates that the controversy which led to the American Revolution had more to do with jurisprudential and constitutional principles than with democracy and equality. This book will interest legal historians, Constitutional scholars, and political theorists.

Download or read book Papists and Puritans Under Elizabeth I written by Patrick McGrath and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the Papists and the Puritans in Elizabethan England have received a great deal of attention, but for the most part the two groups have been considered in isolation. They had little love for each other and there were profound differences between them, but they had more in common than they cared to admit. It is the purpose of this book to give some account of the two groups and to suggest some of the ways in which they resembled each other as well as some of the ways in which they differed. The first two chapters deal in a general way with the question of religious unity and with the problems presented to the government by the deviationists. The next four chapters treat the subject chronologically. In each, Papists and Puritans are considered separately, but an attempt is made to indicate some of the factors common to both groups. An epilogue on the Hampton Court Conference of 1604 and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 enables the author to round off the story and to glance briefly at the future of these two religious movements whose history did not end with the death of Elizabeth I and which were already undergoing significant changes. The concluding chapter touches on a number of problems which arise from a consideration of these two deeply committed groups of religious deviationists who were unable to accept the official view.--Adapted from dust jacket.
