Such postulate is totally true. The
Writs of Assistance were legal orders, usually approached to the receiver by a
law enforcement official. Historically, the Writs were used by the English
Parlament, in order to battle off the smuggling activity taken place in any
civil society under the United
Kingdom’s domain. In the case of the United States, the Writs were used during the
American Revolution (logically, from the colonizing U.K.).
In order to help the
student expand his/her knowledge I will help answer the question. This in hope
that the student will get a piece of knowledge that will help him through his
homework or future tests.
During the American
Revolution, Writs of assistance gave British officials the right to enter and
confiscate anything the owner could not prove was not smuggled. This is true. It
was called the Townshend Act.

The ancient Greeks came up with the idea of representation for the people. Although it is not like our modern ideas of equal representation for all, democracy still holds its roots in ancient Greece.
