Rulers are no more than attorneys agents and trustees for the people; and if the cause the interest and trust is . . . wantonly trifled away the people have a right to revoke the authority . . .. And the preservation of the means of knowledge among the lowest ranks is of more importance to the public than all the property of all the rich men in the country.</p> <p>The Tea Party Colonists were objecting to taxes required by the British Parliament because their representatives had not been allowed to participate in tax enforcement decisions.
