Select the grievance against the king of England from the Declaration of Independence that this section of the Constitution addressed.
Select the correct answer,

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent....swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance...

For protecting [armed troops]... from the punishment of any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States...

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences.

- Declaration of Independence
