Actually "No taxation without representation". There actually were representatives 8n Parliament at the time, but they weren't elected in the colonies by the colonists. Parliament at the time was handled in a way that makes gerrymandering look good. You didn't have to live in the district that you represented, and candidates were selected by elites and ran in areas that they controlled.

@davidvonkettering204 By this point, hanging probably would have been the punishment. Either way the risked their lives and fortunes, no matter the cancel movement for the slave owners day, they were men of their time. It is a shame that we h a very forgotten so much of t he intent. No state was to control the Capitol, that is why the District of Columbia. It was to be a small Government controlling things that required a unified response, defense and mail. There weren't to be any political parties. The people didn't elect the President; but rather Electors who were supposed to reflect the will of the people electing them. The electors were to sit down and decide on the nest man for the job of President, today it would be the best person. The Senator were elected by state legislator and were to represent their states and have a long enough term that demagogues won't control the results. The people's direct representatives were the member of the House of Representatives. Their terms were short to allow for public approval and sentiment to be expressed but we ith the Senats to prevent a demagogue from gaining control. We lost all that though, parties were formed and the electors came to represent party candidates and the Representatives the same. Fina lly, the Senators became party candidates no longer representing the State and long term interests; but rather the party's current ideologies and leaders, made worse in some ways by a third of the Senate being elected every two years. Instead of a parttime Government the positions worked throughout the year with a permanent bureaucracy to run it. Then Administrative courts were added that didn't follow the Constitution since people hauled in front of them are presumed guilty and have to p r over their innocence. Now, we are rapidly becoming a one party state whose elected officials lie with impunity. Franklin, if I remember, said something to the effect we have give you a republic if you can keep it. The Founders are at least rollin in their graves.

@davidvonkettering204 Question if the last instance was 1781, who was executed and his exact offense? How frequently had it been done since 1700. I question if it was commonly in use.

Ums and ahs are common. Signs that someone is either uncomfortable wth the response that they are making or are worried that they might slip on the truth. He never gave a clear answer to the question. Finally the BS that the cost should be equiably shared is nonse se. Chicago declared itself a sanctuary; my county didn't Chicago ehould pay for Chicago's decision.
