Answer:

A. grievances against the king and an announcement they would establish a republic based upon the consent of the governed

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States Declaration of Independence mentioned 27 grievances against their problems under the British crown especially king George third. They showed their concern regarding the interference of the government in the local affairs and king's inability to cope with it. They were frustrated by the fact the King was unable to serve the purpose of government by opposing the laws of public good.
