Tyranny was used to exert control over citizens in Latin America, with the hope of ending instability. It often resulted in rebellion.
A tyranny is a government that is under an oppressive, unreasonable and even cruel government or rule. Tyranny is defined by the dictionary "as a type of government other than a monarchy in which the formal written constitution is not adhered to and is broken by force of arms by only one person who then seizes the power as a monarch and primarily in his personal interests."
