antonyms

Is there a perfect antonym for the word "Tyranny", meaning the two words could be used in the same place in a sentence and always function correctly, but have opposite meanings…

i.e.

The King ruled with…

Best Answer

Depends what you are looking for. If you were meaning the type of rule the king had, the antonym would be something having to do with democracy, like:

egalitarianism

However, if you are asking about the harshness of the king's rule, then you would probably use:

clemency
