Summarize the divine right and social contract theories?
The theory of Divine Right meant that the King ruled because God placed him on the throne. No one could challenge the king's right to rule. The people had to obey the king because that is what God wanted. That theory came from the Bible. The Apostle Paul told the Church at Rome to be subject to the governing authorities because they were ordained by God. The social contract theory meant that a historical contract existed between the people and the king. The king had his responsibility and the people had their responsibilities. If the king did not fulfill his responsibilities, the people could replace him. This contract was based on a historical agreement when the kingship was established. Just because the king had not honored it over the years did not make it less valid. The people retained their right to dispose the king.
