john dickinson, letters from a farmer in pennsylvania, 1767
it is the duty of the governed, to endeavour to rectify the mistake, and appease the passion. they have not at first any other right, than to represent their grievances, and to pray for redress. if their applications are disregarded, then that kind of position becomes justifiable, which can be made without breaking the laws, or disturbing the public peace. this consists in the prevention of the oppressors reaping advantage from their oppressions, and not in their punishment. for experience may teach them what reason did not; and harsh methods, cannot be proper, till milder ones have failed.
if at length it become undoubted, that an inveterate resolution is formed to annihilate the liberties of the governed, the english history affords frequent examples of resistance by force. what particular circumstances will in any future case justify such resistance, can never be ascertained till they happen. perhaps it may be allowable to say, generally, that it never can be justifiable, until the people are fully convinced, that any further sub - mission will be destructive to their happiness.
when the appeal is made to the sword, highly probable it is, that the punishment will exceed the offence; and the calamities attending on war out weigh those preceding it. these considerations of justice and prudence, will always have great influence with good and wise men.
