Divine right was crucial for absolute rulers as it provided a religious justification for their authority, asserting that their power was granted directly by God.

By promoting the idea that their position was ordained, rulers could maintain control and encourage loyalty among their subjects, reinforcing their absolute power. Ultimately, divine right created a framework that made rebellion against the monarch not only a political act but a moral transgression.
