Why is such a right formidable to tyrants? The king had asked the people of the colonies to relinquish their right to representation in the government. The value of this right was immeasurable to the people. Such a right is formidable to tyrants because people ruled by representatives will oppose a tyrant’s wishes.

  22. page 166 3. What has the king dissolved? What effect has this had on the people?  The king has dissolved representative houses in the colonies.
