Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest.
What does Henry mean in this excerpt from his Virginia Convention speech when he says “we have no election”?
We do not have the political will to resist the British.
We have no representation in the British Parliament.
We have no choice because the war has already begun.
We have no ability to democratically elect our leaders.
