Two of the most important figures in late eighteenth-century Britain were Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. As we learn about their points of agreement and contention, we'll touch on the following questions:

  1. Why was Burke in favor of reconciling with the American colonies, which was against popular opinion in England?
  2. In contrast to Burke, why did Johnson argue in favor of virtual representation for the American colonies?
  3. What was Burke's main argument against the French Revolution?

Recommended Reading: Burke, Edmund. "Speech on Conciliation with the Colonies." 1775.
Burke. Reflections on the Revolution in France. 1790.
