- W2263687845 abstract "Long before Canada and other countries in the British Empire gained dominion status, an American pamphleteer argued that the British Parliament had no authority over the colonies. The year was 1774, and it was James Wilson of Pennsylvania. Wilson audaciously asserted that although the colonists were indeed an organic part of the British Empire and owed allegiance to the monarch, they were self-governing.In 1768, motivated by the non-importation agreements and John Dickenson's Farmer's Letters, Wilson penned Considerations on the Nature and Extent of the Legislative Authority of the British Parliament. He argued innovatively that the colonies were not subject to the control of the Parliament. Curiously, he did not publish this pamphlet for another six years.Wilson's argument was that the British Parliament had no legislative authority over the colonies. In fact, he denied in every instance that the colonies were subject to the legislative control of England. In his pamphlet, Wilson developed the concept of dominion status six years before Thomas Jefferson or John Adams articulated the same idea and some seventy years before the British officially adopted it as policy. This paper will examine the validity of Wilson's claims about the extent of British authority in the colonies. It will demonstrate that Wilson was correct in claiming that the laws passed by the British Parliament did not bind the colonists because they lacked authority." @default.
