To find the answer, you need to read the Declaration of Independence and identify one of the grievances listed against the King of Great Britain. In this case, the selected grievance accuses the King of maintaining standing armies without the consent of the legislature. This is stated in the Declaration of Independence as one of the "repeated injuries and usurpations" that justify the colonists' decision to break away from British rule.
