<u>Answer:</u>

<em>According to texts, despotism can be defined as a form of government where in a single entity rules. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

This entity has the absolute power and say. Conventionally, this entity is an individual. This sort of despotism is evident in autocracy. But history has referred to societies that limit respect and power to a group has referred to as despotic. Jefferson was very vocal about the rights and duties of the people. According to him, all men are created equal; hence they all have a shot at equal rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Governments of various nations are appointed to protect these rights. But when this same government becomes destructive, and tries to exercise absolute despotic power, it is the duty of the people to alter and abolish it. And also form a new government which has a strong foundation with the motive of safety of happiness of the people.

Anastasy [175]

The answer is yes, Raymond d'Aguiliers was definitely biased, his <em>Historia Francorum qui Ceperum Iherusalem, </em>isn't impartial at all, it's full of depictions of "evil turks" and "divine aid" for the crasaders. Being a Christian in the Middle Ages sort of explains his bias towards Christianity, however, it is also believed that he wrote the chronicle to rise up his liege Raymond IV of Tolouse.
