It has been said that the Divine Right was based on the three G's. God, glory, and gold. It is basically given/had by people basically saying that it is their right and that because they can, they will. Many would say that this idea is selfish and thoughtless. America is a country that was formed by this supposed right.

This is a doctrine which states that the king derives his authority from God , not people . The supreme authority of the state is personified in the king , but God could eliminate any king He did not like .It arose in France at the time of the Renaissance and gave kings a basis for absolute power.
