Paper Summary:
In this analysis of John Neville Figgis' "The Divine Right of Kings", the writer of the paper shows how Figgs argues that a King's right to rule over others comes directly from God and that disobeying a king means disobeying God himself.From the Paper:
"In conclusion, this was a very interesting book. John Neville Figgis made me think about why kings and queens claim to have the right to rule. He argues that monarchs get their right to rule from God. It does not matter if kings or queens are good rulers or not, because the will of the people they rule is not important. Disobeying the king or queen was thought to be a sin against the will of God, and would result in eternal damnation. The king or queen is responsible only to God, and not to the common people."More papers on "The Divine Right of Kings":
