Question

Who believed in the divine right of kings?

A. John Locke
B. thomas hobbes
C. thomas jefferson

Answer 1

Answer is B. Thomas Hobbes

Reason:
✅ Thomas Hobbes lived during a period of time when Britain was torn apart by civil war. He believed the king ruled by Divine Right, meaning the king was selected by God to rule over the people and had an absolute and God-given right to be obeyed without question.

❌ Locke lived in a period known as the Enlightenment, a time when men began to question the authority of the church and their political rulers. Locke was concerned about the protection of individual rights and property.

❌ Thomas Jefferson was a framer of our constitution. Jefferson wrote “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,” here he rejected the Divine Right Theory of Kings and gave the judicial power to the people.
