Answer: The word "for" is referred to the actions of a.) Parliament.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was British Parliament which has been referred to as "for" in these phrases.

British Parliament deprived its colonies from most of the justice that people living in such colonies deserved.

This cruelty was at it's worst during time period of King George III.

His actions led people to protest against British and resulted in The Declaration of Independence.

The Declaration of Independence was part of Second Continental Congress.

This Declaration was documented by Thomas Jefferson, which resulted in the independence of 13 American colonies.
