Question

What is the divine right of kings?

Answer 1

Hi there!

The divine right for kings is to be able to rule over land and people.

This includes:
- making laws or commands and fateful decisions
- setting restrictions
- (often times) having rather severe punishments when citizens break laws
- the right to rule over land and people

Hope this helps!
