Response sheet #8, for class, Thursday

1.  What forms of political protest did Dickinson deem to be legitimate?  What, on the other hand, was not legitimate?



2.  According to Dickinson, what was the basis for only permitting certain limited forms of political protest?  In other words, what parts of the British imperial political order did Dickinson believe in?  What parts struck him as problematic, on the other hand?  Did the good outweigh the bad, or the other way around?
