In the context of the American Revolution, yet true throughout human history, a government in which all power stems from a single central authority (and an individual ruler, at that) is generally known as a "monarchy". While oppressive and unjust leaders are typically labeled as "dictators" or even "tyrants", such governments remain monarchies in a theoretical sense.
A government in which all power belongs to a central agency is a monarchy. It is also called a unitary government.

Unitary
A system of government where all powers are concentrated in a single central agency is known as a unitary government. In this system, the central authority holds the primary power, and any administrative divisions, such as regions or municipalities, derive their authority from the central government. This contrasts with federal systems, where power is shared between central and regional authorities. Examples of unitary governments include the United Kingdom and France.
Any central government by definition is in power. If it were not in power it would not be a central government.
In a unitary government system, the central government holds most, if not all, of the power. Local or regional governments derive authority from the central government and can be created, abolished, or reorganized by it. This system promotes uniform laws and policies across the entire country.
The power to lay taxes.
The type of government where the central government has all the power and the people have none is called a dictatorship.
