I'm not sure if this counts as "political" (in a 1770s context), but I think one of the points is that George III is the only white soloist/named character. To underscore the difference between "America now" which is multiracial and hip-hoppy, and the "bad old days" that the revolutionaries were fighting against. (Which is also why his melody is more Beatles-esque and simplistic compared to the complex rhyme schemes of Jefferson etc.)
