Absolute Monarchy in Europe

Question 28232 • NY-Global History and Geography I

Which of these people would likely disagree with the argument made by Bossuet?

Answer
A
an absolute monarch in another country, such as Philip II
B
a Catholic bishop in France who is not a member of the court
C
a member of England’s Parliament
D
a member of the French aristocracy

Explanation

Bossuet argued that kings received their authority from God, so their rule should not be limited by subjects or representative institutions. A member of England’s Parliament would likely favor Parliament’s role in checking the monarch’s power and therefore disagree. An absolute monarch such as Philip II would be more likely to support Bossuet’s argument.
