About this text

This article answers a colonial grievance about open ended search papers called writs of assistance. James Otis argued against them in a Boston court in 1761, and John Adams later said American independence began in that room. The text demands probable cause and a warrant that names the place to be searched and the things to be seized. The printing used here comes from the first volume of the United States Statutes at Large.
