A, gave specific examples of their mistreatment

The answer is a) : The creators of the declaration gave specific examples of their mistreatment.

Explanation:

In order to maintain their credibility, the creators of the declaration produced a document that highlighted their grievances and expressed their intention to have a government built on principles of equality and fairness. Over-taxing, which caused violation of many rights, was a major issues: the creators of the declaration felt that, although they were English people from Britain and had British rights, the British government violated their rights on numerous occasions, and overtaxed them.
