One is <span>"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people." This one refers to the King's coercive acts where he dissolved Massachusetts legislature because of what happened during the Boston tea party. basically the King didn't care about the legislative houses and did as he wished when they didn't agree with him.
Another is </span><span>"He
has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that
purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing
to pass others to encouraged their migration hither, and raising the
conditions of new Appropriations of Lands." He is talking here about the king's anti immigration policies to anyone who was not a British Subject. There were many immigrants from countries like Spain or France who wanted to enter the colonies and become citizens but they were denied this right and the colonists wanted them in their country.

This is mentioned because the King had his soldiers stationed in the colonies in people's houses and people didn't have a choice in whether or not they would provide housing for them. They were angry because they had to pay taxes for soldiers that did nothing since there was no war.

protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any Murders which
they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:" This is because of the Boston massacre when soldiers killed colonists and had mock trials and weren't punished at all because the British parliament and the king perceived what happened as the fault of the colonists and didn't even care about them.</span>
