Whose head did King George III take?
By George's time Britain had long passed the monarchy stage, Parliamnent was the big honcho, despite Jefferson's propaganda tirade against George.
Name one European monarchy where the rights of the common people were fewer and the amount of taxes they paid greater than under the current mob rule we all suffer under.
That largely depends on the monarchy and the time period. The people were, in the early monarchies, serfs and most did not pay taxes, why, because they had no money. It was the nobles that paid the taxes and fought the wars, and finally in England the nobles did their Runnymede thing.
