New York Suspending Act
New York Suspending Act (2 July 1767) After the N.Y. assembly refused to obey the Quartering Act (1765) in December 1766, Parliament declared that if the legislature did not comply by 1 October 1767, then none of its laws would have legal force. The law never went into effect because on 6 June, prior to its passage, N.Y. voted to furnish the military supplies stipulated by the act, but under protest that its appropriation was not done in recognition of the Quartering Act’s constitutionality. To avoid future confrontations, Britain ceased trying to enforce the act after 1767.
