Answer:

Declaration of independence contains grievances and complaints of the colonists against the problems with the British Government. They said that the very purpose of the government has denied as the laws for public goods were constantly opposed by the crown. The king has seemed to repress the rights of the American colonists. The tax was extracting without acknowledging their citizenship rights. These grievances made up in the slogan of 'No representation without representation'.
