The concept of "divine right rule" has been used by sick individuals, for sick reasons of conquest of land and other natural resources. Monarchies use it to justify their rule, and generally not having to work/being welfare babies. See Great Britain's royal family and what a bunch of useless, spoiled, out of touch with the people, not to mention wastes of space, they are. This should reveal the true nature of a monarchy and why in fact it needs to lie to individuals about "being chosen by gods to rule" in order to attain power. That is how the concept of "divine rights" is typically used.

What happened to divine rights according to the English bill of rights?
The English Bill of Rights, enacted in 1689, significantly diminished the concept of divine rights of kings by establishing that the monarchy could not rule without the consent of Parliament. It asserted that the authority of the king was not absolute and was subject to the laws and will of the governed. This shift laid the groundwork for constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy, emphasizing that the rights of citizens and the rule of law take precedence over royal decree.

The rights of people IN MONARCHY?
In a monarchy, the rights of individuals can vary significantly depending on whether the monarchy is absolute or constitutional. In absolute monarchies, the monarch holds extensive power, and individual rights may be limited, often subject to the ruler's discretion. In constitutional monarchies, citizens typically enjoy more rights and freedoms, as the monarchy is bound by a constitution or laws that protect civil liberties. Ultimately, the extent of rights in a monarchy largely depends on the country's legal framework and governance structure.
