CHAPTER XXVIII
ABSOLUTISM IN FRANCE AND ENGLAND 1603-1715 A.D. [1]
241. THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS
ABSOLUTISM
Most European nations in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries accepted the principle of absolutism in government. Absolutism was as popular then as democracy is to-day. The rulers of France, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Scandinavia, and other countries, having triumphed over the feudal n.o.bles, proceeded to revive the autocratic traditions of imperial Rome. Like Diocletian, Constantine, and later emperors, they posed as absolute sovereigns, who held their power, not from the choice or consent of their subjects, but from G.o.d.
