Have you never taken a simple history course? The Divine Right of Kings was the concept that the King derived his authority from God. The laws of most every monarchy on the planet reflected this. It was just before that idea of "we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights...." came along and disrupted the old order. In fact, when you think about it, it's the same idea. it just replaced the King with "We, the people." But the King held first position for several thousand years. That's what it means.

Yeah cool, what concept are you talking about schuyler, where are they from?
Thats the question I asked
Dont say its simple, that I dont understand history, and then ignore the question and not answer it with anything remotely less vague than what has already been posted, as well as non backed up statements I have never heard of before
Its ok schuyler, I looked it up, its a pagan thing to do with their kings of old and their pagan gods
Thanks for nothing but your arrogance based on ignorance
