The excerxpt below comes from the writings of Jacques Benigne Bossuet, a French bishop in the early 1700s.

IT IS GOD who establishes kings. He caused Saul and David to be anointed by Samuel; He vested royalty in the House of David, and ordered him to cause Solomon, his son, to reign in his place…

Princes thus act as ministers of God and His Lieutenants on earth. It is through them that He rules…

This is why we have seen that the royal throne is not the throne of a man, bnut the throne of God himself… Thus God has placed in princes something divine.

We have seen kings seated on the throne of the Lord, having in hand the sword which God himself placed in their hands.

Based on this excerpt, which type of government would Bishop Bossuet most likely favor?

a)

Direct democracy

b)

Absolute monarchy

c)

Constitutional monarchy

d)

Representative democracy
