Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

King George III of Great Britain

Explanation:

In the Declaration of Independence created by Thomas Jefferson and some others on July 4, 1776, he listed a number of injustices meted on the American populace under the rule of King George III of Great Britain. Some of their complaints include the fact that the King refused to pass laws for the greater good of the people and taking all districts into consideration.

Another is the blame that the King repeatedly dissolved legislative bodies that vigorously campaigned for the rights of the people. In total, a long list of twenty-seven sentences containing complaints about the King was noted in the Declaration of Independence.
