Answer:

Yes it does.

Step-by-step explanation:

My fast answer:

The colonists of America are listing their problems with King George III. All of these grievances mark the act of a power hungry tyrant, who should not be the ruler of Americans. The point of this section is to give legitimate reasons to Great Britain on why America is becoming independent, as well as to put patriotism in the colonists to aid in any fight, whether mental or physical, for independence.
