tyranny

Read a random definition: realty

A quick definition of tyranny:

TYRANNY: When someone takes away your rights or has too much power and uses it to hurt people, that's called tyranny. It's like when a mean ruler or leader makes everyone do what they want, even if it's not fair or right. This is called a tyrant.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Tyranny is the severe deprivation of a natural right or the accumulation of all powers in the same hands, whether few or many. It can also refer to arbitrary or despotic government, where a ruler wields power unjustly and oppressively.

Examples:

  • A government that restricts freedom of speech and assembly is an example of tyranny.
  • A ruler who takes away the rights of their citizens and rules with an iron fist is a tyrant.
  • When a leader accumulates all powers in their hands, they become a tyrant, as they can make decisions without any checks or balances.

These examples illustrate how tyranny can manifest in different ways, from restricting basic rights to seizing complete control. It is important to recognize and resist tyranny to protect individual freedoms and prevent abuse of power.
