VERE-�House of Lords (Westiminister, London, England) Arguments of opposition concerning the motion to commit the bill for repeal of the Stamp Act; the negative argued for upholding the 1766 prerogatives of the Crown because Parliament Mar. 11 has sole control of legislation; the Stamp Act was passed with little Parliamentary opposition; amendment would be preferable to repeal; power of taxation must be exercised without partiality; the tax amounted to a shilling per head per year; unless Parliament levies the tax it cannot be justly apportioned; the colonists object to the principle of taxation without representation and to the Navigation Laws; these doctrines may spread to other British subjects and lead to the destruction of the Empire; submission to the colonists will injure the British merchants; if the Government had acted resolutely the opposition in the colonies could have been stopped; to sacrifice the sovereignty of the Realm now will lead to greater defiance in the future.

VERE-�House of Lords, Westminister, London, England Arguments of oppostion concerning the repeal of the Stamp Act; repeal will encourage the 1766 colonists to claim the sole right of legislation; the taxes collected were to be spent in North America; new Admirality Courts have been set up at convenient places; they refute the argument that the Stamp Act was tried and failed; in the future British officials will be subservient to the popular will; repeal will encourage opposition to all laws in Britain as well as in the colonies; repeal will 'Shake the Basis of Equality, and of that Original Compact, upon which every Society is founded.
