The excerpt that specifically identifies a grievance of the American colonists included in the Declaration of Independence is:
"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasion of the rights of the people."
This statement highlights the colonists' frustration with the British government, particularly with King George III's actions that undermined their legislative bodies and rights.
Yes, I am sure. The excerpt "He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasion of the rights of the people" clearly articulates a grievance against King George III for his actions in dissolving colonial legislatures, which the colonists viewed as a violation of their rights and a form of oppression.
The other excerpts you provided do convey important sentiments found in the Declaration of Independence, such as the assertion of independence and the declaration of unalienable rights, but only the first one specifically outlines a grievance relating to the king's actions against the governments of the colonies.
