The grievance "He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good" relates to the founding principle of "unalienable rights" in the following way:
**The king refused to approve laws that supported natural rights.**
This option is most aligned with the concept of unalienable rights because the Declaration of Independence emphasizes the necessity of protecting individual rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. By refusing to assent to laws that would uphold these principles and support the public good, the king was seen as neglecting his duty to protect the colonists' natural rights.
