The Liberalism of Lord Bellomont in the Royal Colonies
"The settlement after the Glorious Revolution had made New Hampshire a royal colony; Samuel Allen, claimant to the proprietorship, was named royal governor. Allen’s son-in-law, the wealthy John Usher, served as lieutenant governor and resident executive of the colony. Usher struggled with the Assembly throughout the 1690s; he continually asked it for tax money, which the assemblymen claimed the colony was too poor to afford, and tried to conscript troops, which they failed to supply. The Assembly was thus the spokesman for the liberties of the people against the exactions of the royal and proprietary executive. Usher’s attempts to collect quitrents were largely futile, as no quitrents could be collected from a New Hampshire jury. When User urged the Assembly to raise more taxes, it replied that it would do so only if User would join them in petitioning for a return of the province to Massachusetts."

Comments:
Liberalism in the original sense was opposite the modern sense whereby a Liberal is a Marxist Communist.
One side opposes the other side by choice or by necessity. One side is the side that chooses to enslave the other side, making the slaves pay for the costs associated with their enslavement. One side is despotic, tyrannical, and criminal.
The other side is forced to either submit or defend. Defense can be peaceful, lawful, legal, reasonable, rational, logical, moral, right, and it can follow the precedents established long ago in the forms known collectively as The Ancient Law, Common Law, Law of the Land, and in Latin "Legem Terrae."
Trial by Jury according to the common law is still the law of the land.
