Final answer:

The colonial grievance mentioned in the question was addressed in the Bill of Rights by guaranteeing a Jury Trial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c) Declaration of Independence... Jury Trial. The colonial grievance mentioned in the question was written in the Declaration of Independence. It addressed the issue of transporting colonists beyond the sea to be tried for pretended offenses.

The Bill of Rights, which guaranteed individual liberties, included the right to a Jury Trial. This ensured that individuals accused of crimes had the right to be tried by a jury of their peers rather than a judge alone.
