difference between divine monarchy and divine right monarchy
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The divine right of kings, divine right, or God's mandate is a political and religious doctrine of political legitimacy in a monarchy. It stems from a specific metaphysical framework in which a monarch is pre-ordained to inherit the crown before their birth. Under this theory of political legitimacy the subjects of the crown are considered to have actively (rather than merely passively) turned over the metaphysical selection of the king's soul – which will inhabit the body and rule them – to God. In this way, the "divine right" originates as a metaphysical act of humility or submission towards God. The divine right has been a key element for legitimizing many absolute monarchies.
In an absolute monarchy, the transmission of power is hereditary.
Divine right - a monarch is not subject to any rule on earth and his right to rule comes directly from God.
