Let's add a little info for transparency:
These are from the Declaration of Independence---------

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
This refers to the policy of requiring the colonial governors or chief executives within each colony to suspend certain kinds of laws passed by the Colonial assemblies until the King should give his assent to them. Sometimes these laws would be neglected by the King for years. Jefferson wrote in his "Summary View of the Rights of British America" (1774): "With equal inattention to the necessities of his people here has his majesty permitted our laws to lie neglected in England for years, neither confirming them by his assent, nor annulling them by his negative."

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

This link expresses a historical depiction of events related to the text.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
"This refers to situations that arose in Massachusetts and Virginia, when the colonial governors declared that the meeting sites of the assemblies should be moved for reasons of safety. In both cases, the new sites were at some distance from the places where the public records were kept; and the members of the assemblies charged that moving the sites of their meetings interfered with the public business and prevented them from access to information necessary to conduct it."

Please forgive me for not continuing the research,
I've done more than enough to help you and your post.
You could have done more but I don't know what your point is....
These are not to be construed as law in the Democratic Republic founded in 1776.

These words are the thoughts of a collective that would suffer and die for freedom.
Directed at the British Empire.
The 'He', as subject, was the King of England.

This was not a 'Declaration of War'...........
This is no legal document............
This was the rally cry for the population.

you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ---Ralph
