What is Divine Right and why was it popular amongst rulers in Europe in the 1600s?
Divine Right basically means that the king or queen is appointed by God. This means they have the right to do whatever they like, and no-one can tell them what to do. This was popular because, hey, everyone wants to be able to do what they like, right?
It wasn't so popular with their subjects, though, because this meant they had no say in how their country was run or where their tax money went, etc. It was all decided by the king. That's not so bad if the king is fairly good and knows what he's doing, but what if you end up with one that's a total idiot and spends all his money on clothes and parties? That's why the idea of Divine Right was eventually scrapped.
