Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the impact of a 1758 Virginia law that allowed repayment of debts in currency instead of tobacco at a rate of two pence per pound. It was passed in response to a tobacco shortage that would have caused widespread economic distress, but many creditors refused payment, leading to legal battles. The author explores the legal and constitutional questions raised by the case, known as the Parsons Cause, which challenged the authority of the Virginia legislature and the king's right to disallow colonial laws. The author argues that the case was a key moment in the development of American constitutional thought and the growing resistance to British imperial authority.
