Ismael Caldwell · Answer 1

Louis xiv agree with the statement because he was once king of France regarded as a demi-god

Jaiden Hendricks · Answer 2

B. Louis XIV

Explanation:

Louis XIV would be the character that would agree with this statement the most. Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, was the King of France from 1643-1715. He is considered the archetype of absolutist monarch in Europe. He was not only all-powerful, but he created a cult of personality around himself that considered him a demigod. Therefore, he would most likely agree with this idea.
