8. Now that I look at it...

The American heritage is wrong. He didn't argue the divine equality of man in his pamphlet on Parlimen, it was in "The Rights of the British Colonies Asserted and Proved." were he argued that the power of Government is derived through the Governed.

This must be the pamphlet Adams was refering to in his letter to Pickering. I still find it odd that no text of his "Vindication of the House of Representatives" is available online. If I find a copy, maybe I can OCR it and post it on Wikipedia.
