This book contributes to the increasing interest in John Adams and
his political and legal thought by examining his work on the
medieval British Empire. For Adams, the conflict with England was
constitutional because there was no British Empire, only numerous
territories including the American colonies not consolidated into a
constitutional structure. Each had a unique relationship to the
English. In two series of essays he rejected the Parliament's claim
to legislate for the internal governance of the American colonies.
His Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law (1765) identified
these claims with the Yoke, Norman tyranny over the defeated Saxons
after 1066. Parliament was seeking to treat the colonists in
similar fashion. The Novanglus essays (1774-75), traced the origin
of the colonies, demonstrating that Parliament played no role in
their establishment and so had no role in their internal governance
without the colonists' subsequent consent.
