Question

In an absolute monarchy where does the king's power come from?

•The consent of the governed
•The nobility
•The constitution
•Divine Right

Answer 1

In an absolute monarchy, the king's power comes from Divine Right.

Option D.

In the medieval era, it was believed that it is the divine right of kings and queens (given to them by God) to rule.

This belief is a political doctrine to defend monarchical absolutism, which asserted that kings derived their authority from God and could not, therefore, be held accountable for their actions by any earthly authority such as a parliament.
