According to the Declaration, in which ways did the king deny the colonists "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness"?
Write two to three sentences to explain your answer.

The colonists considered that King George, monarch of Great Britain, limited the exercise of their individual rights, thus affecting the possibility of enjoying the right to liberty, life and the pursuit of happiness.

Specifically, they believed that the British crown imposed on them various limitations, such as the prohibition of trading with nations other than Great Britain, the obligation to house military personnel in their homes, the imposition of taxes without representation in the British Parliament and the constant and at times violent presence of British military in American cities.
