A. its list of colonial grievances

Explanation:

The United States Declaration of Independence has 27 grievances against the British King George III, in which the colonists listed extensive but different complains they had with the British government. Among which is "Grievance 11" which states that: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

The cause of the grievance is that, after the peace treaty with France in 1763, the British kept standing army in America, and required the colonists to finance their stay. However, the colonists did not like the presence or see the needs of the standing army, hence, they asked for the standing army be removed, of which the British government, instead use the army to force people into submission.
