On this day 250 years ago, in Worcester, Massachusetts a meeting of the Committee of Correspondence of Worcester County passed a resolution in response to the Massachusetts Government Act which had revoked the right granted in the Massachusetts Charter for the colonists to elect their own representatives and judges. The Worcester Committee resolved “that an attempt to vacate said charter, by either party, without the consent of the other, has a tendency to dissolve the union between Great Britain and this province, to destroy the allegiance we owe to the king, and to set aside the sacred obligations he is under to his subjects here.”
