In his draft of the Declaration, Jefferson condemned the King for
disallowing a law of the Virginia colony to ban the importation of
slaves from Africa.

Can someone give me a cite to that law and if possible also one or two
secondary sources that discuss the law and king overruling it.  Off list
answers are fine.  Thanks in advance.
