On October 7, 1765, Nine American colonies sent a total of 28 delegates to New York City for the Stamp Act Congress. The delegates adopted the "Declaration of Rights and Grievances." which was passed on October 19.       

There were eight rights outlined in the document, The penultimate right: 7th. "That trial by jury is the inherent and invaluable right of every British subject in these colonies."
