Resolved, that the taxation of the people by themselves, or by persons chosen by themselves to represent them, who can
only know what taxes the people are able to bear, or the

affected by every tax laid on the people, is the only security
against a burdensome taxation, and the distinguishing
characteristic of British freedom, without which the ancient
constitution cannot exist.
