To Her Royal Majesty Queen Anne,

​

          I have reviewed your edict concerning the "several species of Foreign coins" that "do pass in [the] several Colonies and Plantations in America" and remonstrate for your immediate withdraw of this illegal imposition on the Peoples of the Americas.

 

          For one, let it be known that the Peoples of the Americas do not find the conditions of the plantation system suitable to appropriate and ethical governance. While it may be condoned by the Crown, a truly Free People can and will not abide by the terms of a system that mandates the enslavement of a human being for purposes of commercial gain determined by another. This edict is one such an example of the sort of activity which the Peoples of the Americas repudiated and continue to repudiate with their refusal to remain in the realms established by the British and instead braved seas and travel to a foreign land to find the fullest expression of their repudiation. It is beyond the jurisdiction of the Crown to attempt to assert any Authority to mandate such a system for or upon us. If the rates set by those in the Americas are such that in the processes of trade and exchange those who accept the Dominion of the Crown of England find unpleasing then other remedies exist for negotiation other than an attempt to compel fealty from those who have already established their sovereignty apart from such an endeavor. 

​

          Additionally, the characterization of our forms of currency as a "species" belie an intention behind this edict as distasteful as the specification set forth in your proclamation. It is not only an attempt to quantify for the Peoples of the Americas a foreign imposition on our systems of valuation of our own efforts, labor and products but it likewise is an attempt to impose upon us the terms of the Crown in regards to our relations with other nations, again beyond the jurisdiction of the Crown in regards to our affairs or the affairs of our other trade partners. Please understand that even insofar as the Peoples of England and others accept the imposition of the Crown as their authority by accedance to your proclamations on their behalf in negotiating terms, that does not give you claim to set the terms for any other trade partner of the Peoples of the Americas. You are potentially one among a number of very beneficial partners for us - all of that, nothing more and nothing less.

​

          Let me remind you that England has become quite enriched by the production of ships and other vessels which the Peoples of the Americas have taken upon themselves the cost of production and labor. The final products of these ships are then provided to you for consideration in regards to whether or not the purchase of said should be deemed to be of benefit. If it is determined that it should not be to your advantage to purchase ships and vessels from our labor, then that is certainly a choice you are within your right to make. It is not, however, upon you to determine if our products should be of benefit to others per a designation of their acceptable rates for valuation of their currency relative to ours. Please leave the business of our other trade partners to them and we shall be happy to engage a more reasonable accommodation with the peoples who have accepted you to negotiate on their behalf.

​

          Insofar as you may have dispatched agents with the Americas, including in what is now officially acknowledged as the United States of America, please be apprised that per our law of nineteen hundred and ninety that in order for the State to claim it is entitled to acquire private works of copyright for its use then they must first obtain a waiver of copyright prior to engaging in any practice to use copyrighted material to their financial gain. Short of securing a formal waiver of copyright prior to commencement of any commercial relationship, then the State has no authority to claim a right to immunity from any penalty that results from infringement.To claim that they are so entitled ex post facto constitutes a willingness to engage a bad faith effort in the original engagement of the contract and hence constitutes a breach invalidating their contractual claims.

​

Yours in potenitally mutual admiration,

​
