What is wrong with this picture?

If I may quote with a few minor alterations.

The history of the
present President of the United States is a history of
repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in
direct object the establishment of an absolute
Tyranny over these States.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and
sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our
people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace,
Standing Armies without the Consent of our
legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military
independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to
a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent
to their acts of pretended Legislation:


For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from
punishment for any Murders which they should
commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the
world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Con-
sent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits
of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried
for pretended offenses:

In every stage of these Oppressions We have
Petitioned for Redress in the most humble
terms: Our repeated Petitions have been
answered only by repeated injury. A President, whose
character is thus marked by every act which
may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of
a free people.
