The unintended effect of the Writs of Assistance was that it angered colonists who felt they were being searched without a warrant.


The Writs of assistance were a general search warrant that it was issued by the superior provincial court to assist the British government in enforcing trade and navigation laws. <em>It allowed officers to search any house for smuggled goods without any specification of which house or goods where being inspected.</em>

After those effects surfaced, lawyer James Otis issued before the Superior Court of Massachusetts that those warrants were illegal and that: “appears to me the worst instrument of arbitrary power, the most destructive of English liberty and the fundamental principles of law, that ever was found in an English lawbook.”

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The reason why the Americans wanted to remain neutral and not take sides in the growing conflicts in Europe is because we simply didn't want to get in war that isn't our fight neither want to send troops to Europe and fight over there and waist tax payers money instead use it and others ways. Its like two people arguing because usually people let the other two argue and dont interfere because they dont want to get caught up in it and its not their problem.
