the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.

6  then the  lord  said to cain, “why are you angry?   why is your face downcast?   7  if you do what is right, will you not be accepted? but if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;   it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

8  now cain said to his brother abel, “let’s go out to the field.”  while they were in the field, cain attacked his brother abel and killed him.
