On American Taxation
"On American Taxation" was a speech given by Edmund Burke in the British House of Commons on April 19, 1774, advocating the full repeal of the Townshend Revenue Act of 1767. Two years after its passing, Parliament repealed five of the six established duties of this revenue tax on America.
