In the American Revolutionary Period, the American colonists addressed their concerns to the British king (and government) in the Declaration of Independence in a variety of ways. First, they appealed to what they articulated as natural laws and basic truths for humankind, demonstrating to their satisfaction that a people unjustly governed is a people fully justified in revolution. Second, they spoke directly of the abuses of the British 'crown,' detailing the many ways in which British rule over the colonies had overstepped its rightful bounds and otherwise invited revolution upon itself.

The grievances of the colonists were circulated primarily by the Continental Congress, which was formed in 1774 to address colonial concerns and unify resistance against British policies. Pamphleteers like Thomas Paine, particularly with his work "Common Sense," also played a crucial role in disseminating these grievances to a wider audience. Additionally, local committees of correspondence were established to communicate and organize resistance among the colonies.
