Question

How does Patrick Henry justify his argument that the taxes are illegal and unjust?

Answer 1

Patrick Heenry's argument was that the Court had the capacity to levy taxes on the people of the colony of Virginia and that anyone else who tried to do it, must be considered illegal and unconstitutional.

He argued that the people from the colony should not obey any law that was designed to force taxes. That was just the faculty of the Assembly.

Patrick Henry said the famous phrase: "I do not know the course others might take, but for me, give liberty or give death."
