They believed that it was God himself who had granted them that power, and that they were therefore only responsible to God for their actions. And if you hold that the power to rule a country is strictly a matter between you and God, you can have advisers and such, but you as king (and not others) has the final say. Otherwise, how could you be responsible to God?

Even today, almost all remaining European kings still have it mentioned in formal documents that they are king "by the grace of God'. But the power has by now gone to their Governments and Parliaments.
