о какой стране/эпохе речь?

если об америке, то все началось (и ровно так и понималось современниками) с контроля тушки (т.е свобода vs несвобода).

Например, еще до американской революции в Англии было много сторонников колонистов, а самый известный британский полемист Priestley написал в их защиту следующее:

The tax imposed by the British Parliament may not have been particularly heavy, as indeed the tax imposed in the Stamp Act had not been heavy. But the point for Priestley, as for the Americans, was not the size of the tax but the parliament’s claim to power. As he went on to explain: “by the same power, by which the people of England can compel them to pay one penny, they may compel them to pay the last penny they have. There will be nothing but arbitrary imposition on the one side, and humble petition on the other.”
