Detailed explanation-1: -The 27 grievances is a section from the United States Declaration of Independence. The Second Continental Congress’s Committee of Five drafted the document listing their grievances with the actions and decisions of King George III with regard to the Colonies in North America.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three main themes of the colonists’ complaints are individual rights, representation, and taxation. Individual rights are rights guaranteed to people. Representation in the English Parliament was important to the colonists, and the colonists believed that taxation without representation was wrong.
