Patrick Henry describes George as a tyrant and "an enemy of his own people."

Step-by-step explanation:

Patrick Henry was a great orator of his time and by his speech he drew many towards the fight for Independence. He was an expert in delivering speeches which kindled emotions.

This led many Americans to fight against the British colonialism which was headed by King George – III. When the British levied tax through the “Stamp Act” he was the one who fought against it and protested that they would not pay tax to outsiders.

This led to the American revolution. King George – III was the head of the state during the revolution. He showed his interest only towards farming and his family which got him the nickname Farmer George. Hence Patrick called King George – III as an enemy of his own people.
