Such postulate is totally true. The
Writs of Assistance were legal orders, usually approached to the receiver by a
law enforcement official. Historically, the Writs were used by the English
Parlament, in order to battle off the smuggling activity taken place in any
civil society under the United
Kingdom’s domain. In the case of the United States, the Writs were used during the
American Revolution (logically, from the colonizing U.K.).
