Every government is tyrannical after one or two generation because the creators of the system, hoping for a set of commonly recognized rules fades away and others, moved only by personal power and privilege take control of it.
No matter what system one lives in,
It must always be much harder to justify the introduction of a new law.
It shouldn't be hard to justify why the law shouldn't exist.
'If ethics is a normative discipline that identifies and classifies certain sets of actions as good or evil, right or wrong, then tort or criminal law is a subset of ethics identifying certain actions as appropriate for using violence against them. The law says that action X should be illegal, and therefore should be combated by the violence of the law. The law is a set of “ought” or normative propositions.'

Now if you look at the things that are illegal, i.e. unlawful in India with this definition of the Law, you'll realise just how tyrannical the Indian government is.
