I recently read about this guy who faced a revolt of his citizens ... the charges sound somewhat familiar. Among other things ...
Who was this guy? How could he have done all these things?
Does anyone here remember who he was, and what the result of his actions were?
He refused to agree to laws necessary for the public good.
He imposed hardships on those who would not relinquish their rights and "go along" with him.
Forced, by unusual means, legislative bodies to comply with his measures.
He obstructed justice by refusing to enforce laws at his discretion.
He erected a multitude of new offices to harass the people and tax them excessively.
He affected a military independent of and superior to the civil authorities.
He allowed foreign jurisdiction and agreed to their acts of pretended legislation.
He imposed taxes without the consent of the people.
He deprived men of the benefit of Trial by Jury.
He abdicated his authority by allowing others to wage war against some with impunity.
He incited domestic insurections and allowed for the murder of his citizens by not defending them.
His own subjects considered him a tyrant, unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
He ignored the voices of his people while appealing for justice.
