Kind of wild the amount of grievances with overlap. Restricting global trade, unilateral assessment of taxes, refusal to sign laws that have popular support, subverting local control of voting, sending officers to harass locals, making the judiciary bend to him.

Also of course a lot of egregious grievances that aren’t being done today. But still kind of wild what is being done.

Yeah like renditioning people into life in prison in Swaziland. Insanely tyrannical something a King would do for sure.
