Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase "He" in the Declaration of Independence is referring to King George III of England. The Declaration of Independence is a document that was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which declared the 13 colonies in North America to be independent states and no longer a part of the British Empire. The Declaration outlines the reasons for the colonies' decision to break away from British rule, and lists a number of grievances against King George III. The phrases in the Declaration that begin with "He" are referring to actions or policies of the King that the colonists believed were unjust or oppressive. The phrase "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world" would most likely refer to laws or policies implemented by the King or the British government that restricted or prohibited trade between the colonies and other countries.
