Answer:

That excerpt belongs to the preamble of the declaration of independence which is an introduction to what the whole document is about, "The natural laws of freedom", referring to one entity splitting from the whole; "bands" are ties or attachments, and "political bands" in this case refers to the elements uniting or keeping together the colonies with the kingdom at that time, meaning the restrictions set by the United Kingdom upon the colonies in order to keep both entities together.
