John Randolph of Roanoke used to warn about King Numbers.

A tyranny of 51% of people or 51% of ones representatives, or a large noble clan, or a society of limited numbers or a single royal family or a single despot are all still tyranny.

Only a limited Republic of laws with checks and balances can give Ordered Liberty.

Monarchy is not tyranny simply because the monarch truly and legally owns the national infrastructure: roads, mint, posts, the military and therefore violates no one’s rights.
