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

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent.
...For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble

ruler of a free people.
