...As to government matters, it is not in the power
of Britain to do this continent justice: the
business of it will soon be too weighty and
intricate to be managed with any tolerable degree
of convenience, by a power so distant from us,
and so very ignorant of us; for if they cannot
conquer us, they cannot govern us. To be always
running three or four thousand miles with a tale
or a petition, waiting four or five months for an
answer, which, when obtained, requires five or
six more to explain it in, will in a few years be
looked upon as folly and childishness. There was
a time when it was proper, and there is a proper
time for it to cease
— Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776
