He came to power because he was a great orator and convinced the people that they were doing the right thing. He promised change and replaced the weak government they had before.
Breaking down "nature of this covenant"...
<em>Nature</em> refers to the characteristics of the covenant
A<em> covenant </em>is an agreement, sort of like an informal contract
While you didn't provide us with Chapter 19, versus 5 and 6, reading the rest of the question it can be inferred God is telling the Israelites to "keep his covenant."
To answer the question "What is the nature of this covenant?" read the chapter and ask yourself the following questions:
Is God stern with the Israelites? Helpful? Angry? Happy? Does He feel bad for them? Does He take pity on them? Are they loyal to God?
Does God get more out of the covenant than the Israelites do? Who does the covenant benefit more?
How do the Israelites feel about the covenant? How do they feel about their current situation in general? Does the convenant calm them? Inspire them?
Because they needed new trade routes
Answer: c. a member of the British Parliament
This quotation argues that the power of absolute monarchs is invested in them by God. Therefore, they have the "divine right" to rule.
The most likely individual to disagree with this statement would be a member of the British Parliament. If kings were indeed like God himself, there would be no need to control or restrict their operations. However, this is the fuction of Parliament. Moreover, Parliament is the way in which common people are represented in government, which would be discouraged if the King had been appointed by divine right.
On the other hand, French aristocrats, bishops, and absolute monarchs are more likely to believe in this position as they benefit from both the monarchy and the interconnection between politics and religion.
