King George III’s issuance of the Proclamation of 1763 was not a stupid decision. In History Alive, it states that, “He was not a bright man. One historian wrote that ‘he was stupid, really stupid!’”(66). This is not at all a fact. The Proclamation of 1763 was in intelligent decision that he made because it kept his people in an area that he could protect, so that the people of the British colonies could be safe. Another reason that he kept them within the boundary is so that he could collect taxes with ease, because all of the colonists were easily accounted for.

This proclamation is very similar to the system of many governments today, such as Iran and North Korea, that have strict laws governing who can come in and go out through their borders. The Proclamation of 1763 was just trying to help the citizens of the 13 colonies safe, just as the modern border rules in North Korea and Iran.
