Answer;

C. Because divine right of kings awarded absolute power to monarchs as leaders of society, there could not be a true consent of the people.

Explanation;

-Divine right theory entails the belief that certain people are either descended from gods or chose by gods to rule. Monarchy for social contract theory. Republic for divine right theory.

-The theory of the Divine Right of Kings aimed at instilling obedience by explaining why all social ranks were religiously and morally obliged to obey their government.

-Social contract theory: that by contract, people surrender to the state the power needed to maintain order and the state, in turn, agree to protect its citizens.

-Social contract theory says that people live together in society in accordance with an agreement that establishes moral and political rules of behavior.Some people believe that if we live according to a social contract, we can live morally by our own choice and not because a divine being requires it.
