Answer 1

Option-(A): The list of colonial grievances contains the following passage,"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures..."

Step-by-step explanation:

• People from across the globe migrated to the American continent, as they started off there new lives inside this region with having a sense of freedom rather then to be forced by the British rule to serve them at all cost. During, the process of developing a new and greater United States the people who were once the citizens of The Great Britain denied any form of rules imposed on them by the imperial rule.

• As, they wanted the system to make rules upon having the consent of the colonists as well, as they were now thousands of miles away from the imperial rule, and wanted a more developed form of society in which each individual matters in all senses.

• So, the differences between the colonist population and the British monarch was then made to be a part of the constitution or frame work of the US. As a list of colonial grievances is there to be analyzed by the individuals inside the constitution of the US.

Answer 2

A. its list of colonial grievances

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States Declaration of Independence has 27 grievances against the British King George III, in which the colonists listed extensive but different complains they had with the British government. Among which is "Grievance 11" which states that: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

The cause of the grievance is that, after the peace treaty with France in 1763, the British kept standing army in America, and required the colonists to finance their stay. However, the colonists did not like the presence or see the needs of the standing army, hence, they asked for the standing army be removed, of which the British government, instead use the army to force people into submission.
