Many monarchs insisted they were answerable to no person. what did they base their authority on? a. natural right b. equal right c. divine right d. human right

From pagan times, kings were considered divine, or ruled with divine help. In the Old-Testament monotheistic world are characteristic wise men or advisers who advised the king on important decisions and issues. These advisers were prophets who conveyed to the kings the will of God or message. In this way the kings were inviolable and no one should oppose the king's decisions or the law. Anyone who did this was against God.

The divine right of kings or the divine mandate is a political religious doctrine that gives legitimacy to the king. Therefore, it is not subject to any earthly authority, people, aristocracy. This means that only God can judge the king, and so is every rebellion against the king, opposing God's will.

Right answer is C. divine right

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
