A Long Train of Abuses and Usurpations USHC 1.2 Analyze… the conflict between the colonial legislatures and the British Parliament over the right to tax that resulted in the American Revolutionary War. The Causes of the American Revolution

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations… evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government…
