The idea that the right to rule derives from God, not the people.

Explanation:

In simple words, The sacred right of rulers, the divine right, or the order of Heaven, is the secular and theological concept of constitutional authority in the kingdom.

It derives from a particular philosophical context under which the King is post-ordained to take the throne well before existence. The concept of spiritual right states that a king is not subjected to human jurisdiction, extracting his right to rule solely from grace by the God.
