Divine Origin Theory:
The Genesis of Divine Origin Theory:
The oldest theory about the origin of the state is the divine origin theory. It is also known as the theory of divine right of Kings.
The exponents of this theory believe that the state did not come into being by any effort of man. It is created by God.
The King who rules over the state is an agent of God on earth.
The King derives his authority from God and for all his actions he is responsible to God alone. Obedience to the King is ordained to God and violation of it will be a sin. The King is above law and no subject has any right to question his authority or his action. The King is responsible of God alone
