Declaration Of Independence Grievances Analysis

I will be evaluating 3 grievances found in the declaration of independence that the colonist was subjected to also, I will be expounding on these injustices in a succinct manner.
The first grievance which had a wonton impact on the colonist was inculcated under the vindictive rule of King George III, which are the abhorrent laws implemented to taxes, this salient issue is addressed in the declaration of independence in the statement “For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent”.
