The correct answer is grievances.

The term "injuries and usurpation" refers to the grievances listed by the American colonists in regards to the King George III. These grievances included a long list of wrondoings including taxing the colonists without their consent, shutting down important harbors like Boston after the Boston Tea Party, and forcing British soldiers to stay in the homes of American colonists.
