AI overview
A tyrant is a ruler who holds absolute power and exercises it oppressively, often without legitimate authority or legal constraints. The concept matters historically because societies have grappled with how to respond to tyrannical rule, from philosophical justifications for resistance to questions about the limits of political power.
