Question

The last part of the Declaration of Independence contains a list of complaints the colonists had against King George. Which of the following best describes an economic complaint the colonists had toward the king?

Cutting off trade

Taking away colonial laws

Protecting British soldiers from punishment

Refusing to make laws for the good of the people

Answer 1

I do not know what "the following" are to choose from, so here's what the declaration has to say on the king's economic wrong-doing:
It voiced anger with the king, "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world" and "For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent."
So, basically, Taxation without Representation and cutting us off in trade are the complaints... though I'd wager the correct answer is the former, as that was much more stressed in school.
