Respuesta :

The answer is A. King George III, because of the crown's apparent intention to establish despotism


The correct answer is A) King George III, because of the crown's apparent intention to establish despotism.

The Declaration of Independence was one that allowed for America to break away from Great Britain. In this document, the colonists developed a list of grievances against King George III. These "repeated injuries and usurpations" involved King George's actions like taxing the colonists without their consent and closing down important harbors like Boston harbor.
