Some good things about King George III, and reasons why he was justified in taxing and "abusing" the colonists?
At my school there is going to be a mock trial and we're going to try King George and see if he was justified in taxing the Americans. Unfortunately, I am the primary defending lawyer, so I need some really good and spicy reasons why he was not a bad king. Help please...and some bad things about King George would be nice too, because I need to make rebuttals for them so... Thanks all who help me.
Keep it coming people, and I love these defenses btw.
The stamp tax was to help defer the cost of housing a standing army to defend the colonies against the Indians. The British had already defeated the French, but that cost was still very large and yet unpaid.
The stamp tax was very small. It required you to buy a seal (stamp) that had to be affixed to any legal document. The documents were a deed, will etc.
It was the traitors to the Crown that should have been on trial. If he wished he could have had every captured fighter drawn and quartered. He did not and he should be commended for that.
