YOu severely contradict your words DanDaMan , here you say
Did the King APPLY a liberal government tyranny that reached across the Atlantic? Yes.
Did he want to conserve his totalitarian government? Yes.
Did the founding fathers want a more LIBERAL dose of government to exceed the Kings? No.
The founding fathers went to war to free themselves from a government that LIBERALLY taxed them and controlled them.
1st. There is no such thing as liberal government tyranny . Tyranny is just tyranny. Liberal by definition is progressive , open to new ideas . So he was open to new ideas tyranny ?
2nd. You said he wanted to conserve his power . That is exactly what conservatives do , they conserve old traditions . Most monarch were rightist in Nature .
3rd. Founding father DID want a liberal government . AGain DanDaMan , Liberal means progressive and open to new ideas . The constitution was progressive and open to new ideas , such as the Rights of citizens , the Rights to own property etc .
4th. The government didn't Liberally tax them . There is no such thing as liberal tax . The government taxed them as much as it needed to tax , but you didn't like it and rebelled . Actually your founding fathers were Okay with taxes , they were just against no representation in the parlament of Englang . Hence 'No Representation means no Taxation' saying comes from that time . But the conservative king didn't want to give any power to the colonies so the war started .
