What are the commonalities present in the list of complaints against the king? what do you think motivated the king to act in these ways, based on your reading and your understanding of american and british history?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Based on my knowledge of American history, the commonalities present in the list of complaints against the King are the grievances for the arrogance and contempt of the British crown over the colonists. Impositions such as the heavy taxation like the Sugar Act, the Navigation Acts, or the Stamp Act, infuriated the colonists. Another issue that angered the colonists was that they did not have any voice or representation in the British Parliament. The presence of the British troops in American colonists to enforce the Acts was something that drove Americans crazy. All of these were causes that led to the American Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

The king of England acted in these ways because English people felt superior to the American colonists. The English crown saw the colonies as its property and the colonists as its servants that had to obey the king's orders and whims.
