The belief that all kings are God's ordained is rooted in certain religious and theological perspectives, particularly within Christianity and some other faiths. Many proponents argue that rulers are placed in power by divine will, as seen in biblical texts like Romans 13:1. However, this view is contested by those who argue that human agency, political systems, and historical contexts also play significant roles in governance. Ultimately, interpretations vary widely based on cultural, religious, and philosophical beliefs.
