Answer 1

Answer:

If only one person has the authority to rule, then no  one else, even members of government, may have  authority, so divine right undermines civil society.

Explanation:

• The statement that best explains an enlightenment position on the divine right to rule is "If only one person has the authority to rule, then no  one else, even members of government, may have  authority, so divine right undermines civil society."

• If we look from an enlightenment position, authority and power should be derived from reason as it does not believe in divine right theory of power and legitimacy.

• It believes that rights and liberties of the people are infringed upon and other forms of rational democratic processes are undermined when only one person takes control over the whole power.
