In "Common Sense," Thomas Paine asks the colonists: "can [you] hereafter love, honor, and faithfully serve the power that hath carried fire and sword into your land?" (36). This is similar to which grievance against King George cited by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence? "He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures" (Jefferson 44). O "He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation" (Jefferson 46). O "He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them" (Jefferson 44). "He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only" (Jefferson 44).
