Read the quotation. Then answer the question that follows. It is God who establishes kings. . . . Princes thus act as ministers

of God and His lieutenants on earth. It is through them that He rules. . . . the royal throne is not the throne of a man, but the throne of God himself. . . . It appears from this that the person of kings is sacred, and to move against them is sacrilege. — Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, Politics Drawn from the Very Words of Holy Scripture What idea was Bossuet describing?

Hello. You forgot the answer options. The options are:

the divine right of the church to rule

the divine right of kings to rule

the divine authority of Parliament over the king

the divine authority of the pope over the citizenry

Answer:

the divine right of kings to rule

Explanation:

It was common for absolutist monarchies to support the idea that kings had the divine right to rule, believing that they had been chosen by God to represent them on earth and carry the burden of leadership. As compensation, God gave kings wealth, power and glory.

This left kings as a kind of deity, forbidding any citizen to stand against them. thus, being against the king was heresy, since the king was the representation of God.

In the passage below from Uncle Tom's Cabin, the slaveholder Shelby talks about Tom, the slave he plans to give to a slave trade
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The ironic thing about the way Shelby describes Tom is:

2. Tom is clearly a more moral person than Shelby.

Explanation:

Tom was loyal to Shelby. So loyal that he could have escaped to Canada with some money, but didn't. However, Shelby is not loyal to Tom. Even though he describes him in a positive way, he is still giving him away as if he were not a person, but a mere merchandise. Tom's loyalty and honesty show he is a moral person. Shelby, on the other hand, does not seem to possess any of those qualities. Even if he is considered a good man by society, he still does not see Tom as an equal, as a human being.
