Explanation:

1. The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment both questioned traditional values in Europe. They challenged old - fashioned ideas, undermining the status - quo and paving the way for new ways of thinking.
2. Ordering the burning of books of serfdom is not in line with Enlightenment ideas which promoted freedom of thought. Strengthening the institution of serfdom goes against Enlightenment principles of equality. Considering a law code that would treat all citizens equally is consistent with Enlightenment ideas of equality.
3. The Parliament played a crucial role in ending absolutism in England by asserting its power and passing laws that limited the monarchy.
4. Jean - Jacques Rousseau and John Locke both believed in the social contract theory which emphasizes the consent of the governed as the basis of government.
5. Enlightenment philosophers believed that the power of government should be derived from the people, not from divine right rulers or other traditional sources.
6. The quote "the king is from God, and law is from the king" best reflects the concept of divine right rule where the king's authority is seen as coming directly from God.
7. The quote "Kings are God's lieutenants on earth" best characterizes rule by divine right where the king's authority is divinely sanctioned.
8. Louis XIV, Philip II, and Peter the Great were absolute rulers who would likely support the idea of unquestioning obedience.
9. The construction of the Palace of Versailles and Saint Petersburg were monuments to personal rule, showcasing the power and grandeur of the rulers.
