The most eloquent and effective taxation protest was a 1768 missive from colonial Virginia to the British Government. This PMR (Petition to His Majesty, Memorial to the House of Lords, and Remonstrance to the House of Commons) was issued by the House of Burgesses (the elected Virginia Assembly), whose members included Washington and Jefferson. Virginia sent a PMR copy to every other colonial assembly, stimulating similar protests from Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Carolina (some copying the wording). PMR led directly to the Declaration of Independence.
