Answer:

Colonists object to violations of their natural rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement refers to the Olive Branch Petition of July 5, 1775. It was a letter to King George III, which emphasized that the signatories' intention was to stop the Revolutionary War if the requirements were met by the British Parliament. There was continued loyalty to the king, who was proposed a ceasefire until the colonial problems with Great Britain were resolved. Finally, this petition was not considered by King George III, therefore causing the Declaration of Independence almost a year later.
