Thesis-English rule has afforded economic stability and has maintained a fair leadership in the colonies, but especially in Massachusetts.
Intro--Setup
-The English Government, as our founders, have the right to instate any government that they so choose.
--A. "And it is hereby further enacted, That the said assistants or counsellors, so to be appointed as aforesaid, shall hold their offices respectively, for and during the pleasure of his Majesty, his heirs or successors;" (http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/mass_gov_act.asp)
----1. We were sent to this country to further the economic and financial goals of England. In order to reach these goals for the good of the country, the English government should have the right to instate any government they wish.
I. Under English rule, Massachusetts has had a steadiness in our economy that is not seen in many colonies other than Maryland.
--A. "We cannot as yet measure farm income in early New England, but we can measure the value of farmers' material goods, and from the evidence so far collected, that value did not decline." (The Standard of Living in Colonial Massachusetts)
----1. Though we may not have seen amazing economic growth for the farming settlers in Massachusetts, the value of their goods and possessions did not go down, or at least did not drop tremendously at any point. Under the rule of the King, the farmers have had the same rough income for over 100 years.
II. In the Patriots' strive to relieve America of Monarchical tyranny, they traded it for a democratic tyranny that the Patriots were the heads of.
--A. "the wayfaring American [,]though a fool[,] could not err in reading, in very crimson letters painted on the air in front of him, the tidings of the arrival of a race-crisis altogether transcending those ordinary political altercations which had from time to time disturbed, and likewise quickened and clarified, the minds of his British ancestors." (The Party of the Loyalists in the American Revolution)
----1. The Patriots would tar and feather their fellow colonists (maybe add an account of this from the book or a database), turning the colonies against each other and forcing the conservative writers of the time to stay quiet about their views out of fear.
--B. " so many of the ablest conservative writers refrained, in that stage of affairs, from engaging very actively in the discussion." (The Party of the Loyalists in the American Revolution)
----1. Shows how the Patriotic colonists scared the conservative loyalist writers into silence. Support with facts about the scarcity of loyalist written documents and the lack of vocal support for the British by them.

Thesis
English rule has not in any way directly harmed the American colonies or crossed the line from ruling body to tyrant.
Craige, please comment on the relevance of this to my points. I think I may have to relate more directly to my points than this. Is it too vague?

Text Analysis Facilitator Prep Sheet: Causes to Bear Arms
--Who is writing?
Representatives of the United Colonies of North-America
--Who is the audience?
The rest of the world, “we esteem ourselves bound by obligations of respect for the rest of the world, to make known the justice of our cause.”
--Who do the writers represent?
The Thirteen Colonies
--What is being said, argued and/or requested?
First, the colonies are stating the things that the British have done to them in order to push them so far as to defend themselves with Arms. Second, they state that they are going to bear Arms for these reasons. Although lengthy, this has some good reasoning behind it.
--How is it being said, argued and/or requested?
It is being said humbly with a sort of sad, frustrated undertone I believe. Again, America did not want to go to war, so this was sort of a melancholy time or the colonist.
--What proof and/or justification is being used to legitimize the request?
The proof is not really there, to tell the truth. The state their reasons, but Britain would probably argue on how this actually happened, making a case that as a ruling country, Britain should have control over America’s affairs.
