The belief that God chooses a ruler to govern is often associated with the concept of the "divine right of kings," which was prevalent in medieval Europe. This doctrine suggested that monarchs were appointed by God and therefore held absolute authority over their subjects. Notable proponents of this idea included King James I of England, who articulated it in his writings, and it was a common justification for monarchy in various cultures throughout history.
