The correct answer is B)"For imposing taxes on us without our consent."

The idea of a social contract states that individuals within a society are willing to give up some of their personal freedoms/liberties in order to establish a government that will make rules on their behalf. The ultimate goal of the social contract is for the elected officials to represent the people and to make laws that will protect and benefit all citizens.

In this case, the grievance listed in option choice B) represents the idea of the social contract within the Declaration of Independence because it shows how citizens are upset with the government for not taking into consideration want the citizens desire.
