Tyranny is defined in the Merriam Webster Dictionary as: cruel and unfair treatment by people with power over others; a government in which all power belongs to one person. Escaping the tyranny of a monarch was the reason America was founded. Our Declaration of Independence from another country, England, states: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Our forefathers fought a war to earn America's freedom from tyranny.
