Question

Explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and the person that wrote the Declaration of Independence was of the view that George William Frederick, known as George III, was a Tyrant.

King George the third interfered with the judicial processes and the civil rights of the colonists at that time. He also ensured that the military powers were beyond that of the civilian government and replaced the governments of the colonists with the ministers he appointed.
