King George III
In the Declaration of Independence, the American colonists indicted King George III of Britain for repeated injuries and usurpations. The document outlines various grievances against the king, accusing him of violating the colonists' rights and imposing unjust laws. This indictment served as a justification for the colonies' decision to break away from British rule and establish their own government.
