Militia Act Debate Framed as Defence of Liberty
From the Monitor discussing opposition to a National Militia in England. The piece argues the Militia Act reduces taxes by replacing a standing army, defends self-government, and preserves the British tradition of arms. It cites Romans, Saxons, and Norman restraint, warns against disarming subjects, and claims disobedience signals slavery and tyranny. The author urges loyalty to King and country, resisting perceived ministerial plots to curb rights and provoke debt through disarmament.
