An element of the divine right theory is the belief that rulers are chosen by a higher power, such as a deity, to rule over a nation. This theory asserts that kings and queens derive their authority to govern directly from God, making their rule absolute and unquestionable. Additionally, divine right theorists argue that disobedience to the ruler is equivalent to disobeying God.
