Quote #4
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent. (27)
Taxation without representation is a huge theme in American history, starting with this very time and conflict. Again, this is part of that nice long list of complaints about the British government, from which you could choose pretty much anything as an example of dissatisfaction. However, given how big of a role taxes played in the lead-up to the Declaration of Independence, this particular phrase embodies decades of dissatisfaction with government policies.
Quote #5
We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations…They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. (43-44)
Most of the Declaration of Independence focuses on the British government, but Jefferson doesn't forget the rest of the British people. There's plenty of dissatisfaction about them too! The American colonists tried to get their fellow subjects across the Pond to take their side, but they were basically ignored, leading Jefferson to (very elegantly) call them out. What could the British people have done to satisfy the colonists?
