 for quartering large bodies of armed soldiers among us, for protecting them by a mock trial from punishment for any murders that they should commit on the inhabitants of these states, for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world, for imposing taxes on us without our consent, for depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury, for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses, etc., etc. In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms.
