""An Essay On The Constitutional Power Of Great Britain Over The Colonies In America"" is a historical text written by John Dickinson in 1774. The book explores the relationship between Great Britain and its colonies in America, particularly in regards to constitutional power. Dickinson argues that while Great Britain has the right to regulate trade and commerce within the colonies, it does not have the right to levy taxes without the consent of the colonists. He also argues that the colonists have the right to be represented in the British Parliament. The book was written in response to the growing tensions between Great Britain and its American colonies, and it played a significant role in shaping the American Revolution. Overall, ""An Essay On The Constitutional Power Of Great Britain Over The Colonies In America"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the political and constitutional debates that ultimately led to the formation of the United States of America.With The Resolves Of The Committee For The Province Of Pennsylvania, And Their Instructions To The Representatives In Assembly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
