What argument does the author anticipate and refute in this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence?
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.

The author had written these lines anticipating that the American Colonies were not happy. He anticipates the argument that the people should appeal to the parliament and complain against the king.
The author described every situation of deprivation of the settlers and wanted the metropolis of Britain to know about them and come to a solution before it is too late. He also said that the allegations were most vague.
