Here's a fun selection of grievances against King George III from the Declaration of Independence.

"He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands."

"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

"For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:"

"For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Jury trial:"

"For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses:"

"For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:"
