Law
The Keys' Resolution of March 1765 was a formal protest by the House of Keys against the proposed Revestment of the Isle of Man. The twenty-four members of the Keys petitioned against the loss of their ancient constitution and the transfer of sovereignty to the Crown, asserting the rights of the Manx people. Their protests were disregarded as both the Purchase Act and the Mischief Act were rushed through Parliament.
