offices, privileges of all sorts: by these and a thousand
other devices a f seems standing fund might be established
applicable to the influencing of elections, influencing of
members when elected, and a thousand other anti-constitutional
purposes.

An army might
soon be brought
within the kingdom
The objection grounded in the confined import of the
word kingdom is scarce deserving of much notice. An
army collected in a Colony out of the kingdom (if the
Colonies themselves are not included to this purpose in the
import of the word kingdom — might be brought within it
in a few weeks).

G. Grenville according
to E. Burke maintained
that it was
illegal for Colonies the Crown
to accept of money from
the Colonies even under these
limited governments.
The intro application thus made of the principles
of the Bill of Rights to the case of Colonies is not a
new one. A similar one we learn from Edmund
Burke was much dwelt on by George Grenville: Grenville
who before he was a Minister was a lawyer and
to whom it had been so often objected who had been so
severely attacked by his eloquent adversary for his
supposed bigotry attachment to the prejudices profession with all
the prejudices and infirmities ascribed belonging to it. He (Mr Grenville) says
Burke in his speech on American taxation) + + April 19 1774
3d edit. 1775. p. 54 "was of opinion,
"which he has declared in this House a hundred
"times, that the Colonies could not legally grant any
"revenue to the Crown; and that infinite mischiefs would be
"the consequence of such a power."

If such was the danger from money given by
Colonies in a few under a limited government — given openly as it could
not but be if given at all under any of the three Colonial
Governments how much greater would it not be with
ease of under one unlimited Government absolute authority
being voted in and encreased by the Crown?
