Answer 1

The correct option is D S1: True; S2: False

According to the theory of Divine Rights, the king derives his authority from God. He is above the law, and nobody has any right to question his authority or action. Social Contract Theory states that the State came into existence as a result of the contract between those in power and those they govern. It is an agreement where the governed give the rulers the power in exchange for the fulfilment of their needs. It is not a contract between just two people.
