“We have always acknowledged we are always ready to recognize the sovereignty of Great Britain but we will not submit to
have our own money taken out of our pockets without our consent; because if any man or any set of men take from us
without our consent or that of our representatives one shilling in the pound we have not security for the remaining
nineteen. We owe to our Mother-Country the duty of subjects but will not pay her the submission of slaves.” George Mason
