When would a secondary source be more useful to you than a primary source? when you want to read firsthand impressions of an event
when you want to see original news footage of historical events
when you want to feel as if you are experiencing the event directly
when you want a summary or analysis of historical events

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
