Question 1: A government of our own is our natural right: And when a man seriously reflects on the precariousness of human affairs, he will become convinced, that it is infinitely wiser and safer, to form a constitution of our own in a cool deliberate manner, while we have it in our power, than to trust such an interesting even to time and chance. --- Thomas Paine, Common Sense

One action by King George III against the colonists was the imposition of various taxes without their consent. These included acts such as the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Tea Act. The colonists felt that these acts violated their rights as British subjects. In the Declaration of Independence, they listed this grievance as "For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent," highlighting their objection to taxation without representation.
2. Quartering of British Troops:
Another action taken by King George III was the Quartering Act, which required colonists to provide housing, food, and supplies to British troops stationed in America. This was seen as an infringement on the colonists' property rights and privacy. In the Declaration of Independence, the colonists stated, "He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power," referencing the quartering of troops as an example of British encroachment on colonial rights.
3. Denial of Colonial Self-Government:
King George III also refused to allow colonial legislatures to exercise self-government and limited their ability to pass their own laws. He frequently dissolved colonial assemblies and interfered with local decision-making processes. The colonists expressed this grievance in the Declaration of Independence, stating, "He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people," underscoring their frustration with the denial of their right to govern themselves.
These actions infringed upon the colonists' rights, violated their sense of self-determination and representation, and ultimately contributed to their decision to declare independence from British rule.
