Having recently read a rather expansive history of the Seven Years' War, I've found myself quite enamored of Grenville's plans for the colonies. If only he had been able to explain his ideas more clearly...
Now, the main crux of the colonists' opposition to taxation, as all American schoolchildren are aware, was the lack of representation. Put the provinces, from Nova Scotia south to Georgia (Quebec and the Floridas don't necessarily need to be included, I feel), under the authority of a Parliament, whether in London (Transport and communication issues may render this difficult.) or in the Americas. I feel the latter is more likely at this point, with the American Parliament being placed in Philadelphia and MAPs being apportioned to provinces based on population.
Please, those with thoughts, do share.
