From pagan times, kings were considered divine, or ruled with divine help. In the Old-Testament monotheistic world are characteristic wise men or advisers who advised the king on important decisions and issues. These advisers were prophets who conveyed to the kings the will of God or message. In this way the kings were inviolable and no one should oppose the king's decisions or the law. Anyone who did this was against God.

The divine right of kings or the divine mandate is a political religious doctrine that gives legitimacy to the king. Therefore, it is not subject to any earthly authority, people, aristocracy. This means that only God can judge the king, and so is every rebellion against the king, opposing God's will.


Right answer is C. divine right

muminat
Sumerian belief that humans are created to serve and obey the gods. They developed a hierarchy of importance based on the persons' close relationship with god. 
From most important to least important, the list of groups are Kings, Priests and Priestesses, Commoners, and Slaves. 

They believe that kings of every city have divine authority, therefore, those who are not kings are tasked to serve and obey the kings. 

The second most important group of people in the society are priests and priestesses. The Sumerians believe that gods speak through the priests and priestesses; thus, political powers were granted to them. The priests and priestesses also enjoy living in lavish homes as part of being of noble class.

Commoners labored for the estates, which were attached to the temples.

Slaves worked for Temple officials.
