- i think that the stamp act is fair because paying off the debt from the war will help us.
- why would you agree on the stamp act it is not fair why should they tax us when we have no say in Parliament
- How do you feel about soldiers living in your house? I think it is fair because they are protecting us and deserve nice housing and bedding. Also because if they had to built housing for the soldiers we would be taxed more

- On March 5 1770 a small riot of colonists that were not happy about the new soldiers that were sent to Boston.

Supporters would say: loyalists would say that the crowd was told to go home and they didn’t listen. The cops were being attacked first (self defense)Opponents would say: patriots would say get these soldiers out of our city. There is no was this is peace time. No need for soldiers

You were at a meeting that cased this so we will regulate, New quartering act because more law enforcement is obviously needed, any British government officials must be sent to England for trial if they are accused of a crime because I don’t trust you.
