The Divine Right of sovereignty is the idea that the leader of a country rules by the will of God.
Divine sovereignty is the right to rule as the will of God. Often refers to a monarchy, where it is believed that God has chosen the king or queen.
The Magna Charta (1215) was the first document to reduce the Divine Right of KIngs to make all decisions. This did not grant full sovereignty to the populace but it did put restrictions on the power of the KIng. It was a step in the direction toward popular sovereignty.
