North Carolina’s 1451 Address on Representation and Taxation
The Western General Assembly issued an anti feudal liberty address arguing taxation should reflect direct representation. It condemns indirect taxes and unequal property weight, calls for judges and officers elected by people, laments legislative corruption, and urges constitutional reform to empower common citizens over the few landholders. The piece quotes and paraphrases the call to broader democratic rights.
