Govern America [?] I as you govern an English town which happens not to be represented in
Parliament [?] I Are Gentlemen really serious when they propose this? Is there a single Trait of Resemblance between those few
Towns, and a great and growing people spread over a vast quarter of the globe, separated from us by a mighty Ocean?
. . . The eternal Barriers of Nature forbid that the colonies should be blended or coalesce into the Mass . . . of this Kingdom. We

constitution.
