essay 2 ouline

Thesis: Breaking away from England will only degrade all the standards and qualities that the great colony of Delaware was founded upon, as well as harm the people both politically and economically.

1. Politically (economically as well) [[trade]]

--A. “That all government of right originates from the people, is founded in compact only, and instituted solely for the good of the whole.”(Delaware bill of rights.)

-----1. (I say) [its not good for the whole, it will hurt our trade] [[going against the bill of rights only degrades the set values]

-------------a.

--A. “that every freeman for every injury done him in his goods, lands, or person, my another person, ought to have remedy by the course of the law of the land, and ought to have justice and right for the injury done to him freely without sale, fully without any denial, and speedily without delay, according to the law of the land.” (Delaware bill of rights)

-----1. (I say)[this is what the patriots were doing to the loyalists, not following bill of rights] [[ also hurts economics of ppl because its hurting the property etc of ppl]]

-------------a.

2. Economy

--A. Delaware issued currency to combat depressions in the early part of the eighteenth century (1723 and 1729) ((Currency Issues to Overcome Depressions in Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Maryland, page 182))

---(paraphrase) So immediate were the beneficial effects of this first Act that on November 2, 1723, a second Act was passed providing for the further issuance of 6,000 (euros)

-----1. (I say) [delaware was doing just find on its own, why disturb a good thing?]

-------------a.

3. “We have taken the Liberty to address ourselves to your Lordship on this Subject; and we entreat your Lordship to communicate to his Majesty our Desires to serve him and Readines to Sacrifice our Lives in Defence of his Person and Government”

--A. [this shows how much the loyalists really are loyal to the king, and are willing to do w/e it takes to serve him] (paraphrase/summarize)

-----1.(I say) if people are really that willing to serve someone, who can argue that the person [the king] is really that bad of a person. Loyality shows something.
