There we many similarities between the way that the 13 colonies were ruled and the way King Coyle run things in M1. The major similarity is that the rulers of these two areas were kings, and kings that did not value the peoples opinion. Both of this examples were not self-determined because neither of them were being able to live their lives without tight surveillance or rules. With the 13 colonies the Quartering Act is a good example because people had the British watching their every move, this is also true in King Coyle's kingdom because people had to pay taxes for things that shouldn't have been taxed.
On that same note, being taxed for something that shouldn't be taxed is called injustice (where something is not fair or just but it is done anyway). In the 13 colonies not having the right to run their own government is also an example of injustice. And more obviously they were both forms of tyranny because it was a more powerful person having rule over a weaker group of people, and the threat of violence.

I agree with everything you said. I would also like to add another definition of tyranny. It is basically abusive power, which was obviously present in M1.
