The article presents the resolutions of the Stamp Act Congress in the American colonies and is dated October 19, 1765. The colonists state their grievances against the Parliament of Great Britain, while professing their allegiance to the king and reminding the Crown that they are entitled to certain rights and liberties as English citizens. The major issues are that the colonies are not being represented in the British House of Commons, colonists have a right to due process and trial by jury, recent legislation restricts colonists' commerce, and the colonies want the duties and Stamp Act repealed.
