He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a #CivilizedNation. He has constrained our fellow #Citizens taken Captive on the high #Seas to bear Arms against their #Country, to become the executioners of their #friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited #domestic insurrections #amongstus, In every stage of these Oppressions We have #Petitioned for Redress in the most #humble terms: Our repeated #Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury...." #ImWithHer

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable 2 them + formidable 2 tyrants only.
