Um exemplo retirado do google, mas que é praticamente o mesmo do meu texto:

"Although King Constantine had not signed the decree establishing martial law which had been issued in his name, he rejected the urgings of his last constitutional prime minister to resist the conspirators. Kanellopoulos himself, with a number of other prominent political figures, was placed under house arrest. Instead, the king grudgingly acquiesced in the establishment of the dictatorship, apparently hoping to exert a moderating influence. This decision eased the dilemma of Greece's Western allies, who had expressed varying degrees of disapproval of the new regime, over the question of diplomatic recognition, for it was argued that their ambassadors were *ACCREDITED TO THE KIND* rather than to any particular government. For several months the king refused to sign decrees retiring officers in all three services known for their loyalty to the crown, but in September, after a visit to the United States during which he made his distaste for the regime clear, he succumbed to the Colonels' pressure and substantial numbers of royalist officers were compulsorily retired."
