"He has made judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries".
The ninth grievance of The Declaration Of Independence states that their former King, King George III has taken control of all courthouses and judges. This grievance refers to the need to separate the judiciary from the executive in order to decrease the chances of government abuse of power. If power was abused then people's unalienable rights would be endangered. It was decided that the tenure of the judges is to be controlled by the King. This grievance could be related to modern situations where judges could choose to not work if they do not agree with the compensation that they are receiving.
" He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people."
The fifteenth grievance of The Declaration Of Independence explains how their King has engaged in war against them. The war was waged unjustly and was very unfair, even though the Americans were not following directions very accurately. This grievance could be related to modern situations in terms of if the US is attacked, they will get revenge.
