They wrote a list of grievances. The grievances were all bad things that the King had done to the colonists and all the tyranny that he had brought to them. These grievances were the reasons why the Colonists were declaring themselves to be independent and that they would no longer be governed by the British empire.

The arguments did the authors of the Declaration of Independence give for declaring the colonies free from British control is that King George III, King of Great Britain, disregarded the privileges of the pilgrims by saddling and passing uncalled for laws; British armed force abused the settlers rights as well.
