Question

1. read the following quote from bishop jacques bossuet about divine right.

\the king is not regarded as a private person; he is a public personage, all the state is in him; the will of all the people is included in his.\
according to bossuet, what is the role of the king if they believe in divine right?
a. to listen to the opinions of his subjects
b. to rule with complete authority over his subjects
c. to unite with his subjects in their quest for god

Explanation:

Bossuet's views on Divine Right of Kings emphasized that the king has complete authority over subjects as a divinely - ordained ruler. Option A suggests listening to subjects' opinions, which is contrary to Divine Right (where the king's authority is divine, not dependent on subjects' opinions). Option C's focus on uniting subjects for God is not the core of his view on the king's role. Option B aligns with the idea that the king, by Divine Right, rules with complete authority over his subjects.

Answer:

B. to rule with complete authority over his subjects
