Virginia Resolves
The Virginia Resolves, passed by the House of Burgesses in 1765, asserted that only the Virginia Assembly had the right to tax Virginians, rejecting the authority of the British Parliament to impose taxes without local representation. They expressed strong opposition to the Stamp Act and emphasized the colonists' rights as English subjects. The Resolves encouraged a spirit of resistance among the colonies and laid the groundwork for united opposition to British policies.
