[QUOTE="jcizzle, post: 1502679, member: 18220"] No Way Man.... this states that there was authority in the words of laymen as they addressed the king. Without this statement it would've been shunned. However, this made the king have to consider that these lowly settlers deemed themselves on the same level of importance as him. It forced his hand to agree or shut them down and try to settle with force. Force is what the colonists expected as a response and force is what they received. They then met and overcame that force. The key is that the statement was there for a reason but before deeming themselves as the king's equals, they had to first resolve to deal with whatever consequences may come from it. They did this by pledging their life, honor and fortunes. Problem is, that we've again begun to think of aristocrats as being a level above us (or at least the aristocrats do). [/QUOTE]
