A tyrannical government is a government that exercises power in a cruel way. A lot of countries have a tyrannical government such as North Korea.

The government holds up prison to…

1. What do Americans think about their government? Ever since politics was established, Americans have been unwilling to allocate too much control to the government. Most Americans were (and are still) hesitant to give ultimate authority to a central government, fearing the possibility of an oligarchic government. However, over the course of history, Americans have turned to the government for help in times of need or during a state of panic. For example, during the 1933 Great Depression…
