Answer: The answer is:

Repeated injuries and usurpations, absolute tyranny.

To emphasize how badly the British government was treating the colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jefferson's tone was angry and outraged.

"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people."

"He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers."
