Scope and content
Attorney-General Francis Maseres, to whom the document is attributed, supports the right of Parliament to legislate for the conquered Province and opposed the argument that the ownership and power to legislate fall exclusively to the Crown. While he rejects such a royal prerogative, he also dismisses the claim of the American colonies to be co-ordinate states within the Empire with the power to reject taxation.
