    "the power of the government is derived from the governed. John Locke believed in the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He did not believe that kings had a divine right to rule, but that the people of the country should choose their leader."

    "The Divine Rights of Kings was basically used before the Glorious Revolution. It allowed kings to be above the law; anything they say, goes. But when the Glorious Revolution came along in 1689, Parliament took power away from the king and they were no longer "above the law." They were expected to obey the law just as everyone else"
