Sample chapters (1, 18, 22) from a forthcoming monograph examining the 1765 Isle of Man Revestment as a constitutional precedent for American independence. Chapter 1 establishes the island's smuggling economy, constitutional separateness, and indigenous institutions (Tynwald, Keys, Deemsters). Chapter 18 analyzes the Tea Act as a catalyst for colonial resistance. Chapter 22 reconstructs the 'Bacon-Coke framework' of coordinate dominion, arguing it remained valid law until 1991 and was violated by the 1765 Purchase Act.
