Answer:
D.) "Rule by man."
Step-by-step explanation:
Louis XIV, the King of France from 1643 until 1715, is the definition of an absolute monarch. His famous phrase, "I am the State," is an illustration of the power he wielded in France. Louis ruled through a mixture of fear and admiration, but in every case the law extended from himself.
Law by man can be associated with either monarchy or oligarchy and could be related to Aristocracy which literally mean "Rule of the highest" Remember that Louis was the last king in France before the fall of monarchy during the French revolution.
Niccolo Machiavelli wrote political works during the Renaissance. In The Prince, Machiavelli advised his audience that in a system of Rule by Man it was "better to be feared than loved." So, Rule by man makes more sense!
