He, his father, and grandfather,
had ruled Great Britain
as English Monarchs,
and Germain Princes.
Part of the constitutional compromise,
in the English Revolution.
As a Constitutional Monarch,
he may reign, but not rule.
It was a representative government,
if not a democratic one,
a rare thing in the world
of his day.
He stood, in a place,
between his English Subjects,
and the American Colonists.
He had been tutored and trained,
that as a Constitutional Monarch
he. must not be a tyrant.
If in opposition to his parliament,
he sided with the American Colonists,
his son and grandsons,
could then become tyrants
How then to solve, this disagreement
between his subjects,
was his quandary.
George III was the English King during the American Revolution. As a Germain Prince, he still ruled his Germain lands, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and prince-elector of Hanover.
