Every American should stand in the intersection where the Boston Massacre occurred and look up at the balcony of the Old State House, from which they had the audacity to read the Declaration of Independence whilst framed by the Lion and the Unicorn of the British Monarchy - a balcony off the very room where the Constitutionality of the Writs of Assistance was debated. This country has a lot of hallowed ground but I cannot think of a more profound location. |
