Divine Right is a theory espoused by several monarchs in the past as well as some modern ones. The theory states that Monarchs (Emperor/press, King, Queen etc) are in their office because God has willed it so. They theory also states that a Monarch is not bound by the laws of man but only answerable to God. A classic example is Louis XIV of France.
