From Thomas Jefferson's list of grievance against King George III in United States Declaration of Independence.
Does any of this sound familiar?
* He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
* For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments
* He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
* He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
* He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
* He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
* For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world
* For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent
* For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury
* For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
