He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us #NoKings

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences #NoKings

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent #NoKings

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world #NoKings

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us #NoKings

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. #NoKings

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. #NoKings

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. #NoKings

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone #NoKings

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice #NoKings

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. #NoKings

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. #NoKings

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. #NoKings

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. #NoKings

The message is clear: allies will be shown leniency and enemies will be met with the full force of the state.
