To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They claimed, as on all former occa sion, the right to deliberate and decide freely on ap propriating the funds of the province for this pur pose ; and noticed the high tone of an inferior military officer, when making an application to the General Assembly, compared with the terms used even by ministers themselves, on a call upon the provincial legislature. They, always, in the name of the King, made a requisition ; a term, which they considered not inconsistent with their rights as a Le gisla...tive Body, and which allowed them to act volun tarily in complying with such recommendation or instruction : But now a subordinate officer had made " a peremptory demand :" which they thought would have been deemed an indignity by the Governor; which, however, they were not disposed to pass by, without an expression of proper resentment. Simi lar instances too often occur in the history of military affairs : And although no axiom or principle, espe- cially in free governments, is so universally acknow ledged, as the subordination of the military to the civil authority, we have sometimes seen, in a collision between them, the military assuming an indepen dence and superiority ; and, by insolence and threats, exercising a degree of influence extrem ly danger ous to the liberties of the people, and calling for the severe reprehension of every true friend of repub lican government.
