Using your copy of the Franklin source, address the author’s argument against Br

Using your copy of the Franklin source, address the author’s argument against British taxation and evaluate his logical reasoning for opposing Parliament’s enactment of the Stamp Act.  The response will need to follow the following parameters:
1) You will need to establish the context of the document (what, when, and where) to demonstrate your understanding of the time period.  This will briefly introduce the source and the author’s purpose for writing it.
2) Explain the author’s argument by addressing your interpretation of key statements that highlight his protest of the tax, but also tie this argument to your understanding of the Colonial reaction to the Stamp Act.
3) Explain how and why this former loyal diplomat turned to become an ardent supporter of protest.
4) Use only the source, although the supporting course content and textbook may be referenced to help you develop your response.
5) No outside  source(s) may be used.  This will result in an automatic reduction (severe) of your grade.
6) Length: Two full pages to three, double spaced.  Anything beyond this will not count toward the evaluation of your work.
7)  No in text citation or work cited page is needed but you do need quotation marks when quoting the Franklin source directly.
