My own blood raised too a few weeks ago after the last parliament had been dissolved when i received my own writ of summons, sealed with a seal, giving me exactly 40 days notice of a Certain Parliament to be holden at our city of westminster. Harking back, i felt sure to chapter 14, of the original magna carta, to obtain the Common Council of kingdom out an aid, we will be summoned the archbishops, abbotts, earls and greater bands, individual letters. And in addition we will be caused through our bailives for a fixed state namely after the expire of at least 40 days and to an affixed place. This is the foundation of a second principle which we can trace at least as far back as magna carta that the people for whom the taxes are levied should have a voice in deciding what they should be. Usually embodied in the saying no taxation without representation, i understand has a special significance in the district of columbia. As i also understand it was the ignoring of that principle which lo
