Question

According to the drafters of the Declaration of Independence, how did the

king prevent the colonial population from growing?

Answer 1

By creating laws that made acquiring land difficult.

Step-by-step explanation:

The draftsmen write about King George III's abuses in the Declaration of Independence. "He has sought to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose, impeding the laws for foreigner citizenship, refusing to pass others to stimulate their migrations here, and raising the conditions of further allotment of lands," says number eight on the list. The National Center for Constitutional Studies (NCCS) is a think tank dedicated to constitutional issues.
