Most of the Declaration of Independence is a list of grievances (complaints) against the King of England. You can find the original grievances in any US HIstory textbook. The grievances on this worksheet have been combined and re-worded. (note: “He” refers to the king.) As you read these grievances, mark them in the following way:

If the grievance seems to be something that would affect only the rich and powerful, write O (for ONLY rich and powerful)

• If the grievance seems to be something that would affect all the colonists, write A (for ALL the colonists)

• If you don’t know who would be affected, write ‘?’
