Question

Read the following excerpt from the Declaration of Independence, and read

the question that follows. "- Such has been the patient sufferance of
these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to
alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King
of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having
in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these
States." Based on the Declaration of Independence, how would the patriots
describe King George Ill?
A. Out of touch with the colonies
B. Terrifying
C. As a tyrant
D. As an ally

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

They are all true to one degree or another except D. The worst of them is contained

in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

In other words, the worst crime of all was the fact that the British Government had established George III as an undemocratic unapproachable Lord and Master over the colonies, and the Declaration liked that least of all.
