1. "He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."
2. "He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation until his assent is obtained; and when so neglected, he has utterly neglected to attend to them."
3. "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 to them and formidable to tyrants only."

The big complaint, and the gist of ^^^ that is that we were not represented in Parliament when taxes were being created. "Taxation without representation."
