About this worksheet
Five complaints quoted from the Declaration of Independence are matched to British actions on this 5th grade social studies worksheet. Students write a letter from A to E beside quotations such as "For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us" and "For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury". The actions include the Boston Port Act, the Quartering Act and trials moved to admiralty courts. Part 2 asks which complaint angered colonists most and why. The answer key gives all five letters.
