Explanation:

The rack is a torture device consisting of a rectangular, usually wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground,[1] with a roller at one or both ends. The victim's ankles are fastened to one roller and the wrists are chained to the other. As the interrogation progresses, a handle and ratchet mechanism attached to the top roller are used to very gradually retract the chains, slowly increasing the strain on the prisoner's shoulders, hips, knees, and elbows and causing excruciating pain. By means of pulleys and levers this roller could be rotated on its own axis, thus straining the ropes until the sufferer's joints were dislocated[1] and eventually separated. Additionally, if muscle fibres are stretched excessively, they lose their ability to contract, rendering them ineffective.

According to the "Divine Right of Kings" who decides who will be the leader of a nation or empire? A.The Law B.The People C.God
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

<u>God</u>

Explanation:

The divine right of kings is a political and religious doctrine of royal and political legitimacy. She assumes that the monarch is not subject to any earthly authority, but derives his right to power directly from the will of God. The king is therefore not subject to the will of his people, aristocracy or any other class including here (according to some views especially in Protestant countries) and the Church. According to this doctrine, since only God can judge an unjust king, the king cannot do wrong. Doctrine implies that any attempt to overthrow the king or restrain his powers is contrary to the will of God and may constitute a blasphemous act.
