King James the first of England believed that he had Divine Right
Kings were appointed by God from above and had supernatural powers. If anyone dared to question a king then he was questioning God: This amounted, in fact, to blasphemy. Even if a king behaved badly no one could criticize him; only God, in his own time, could punish him.


He blieved that he was above the law and everything else
"The State of monarchy is the supreme thing on Earth........ As to dispute what God may do is blasphemy, so is it treason in subjects to dispute what a king may do....."

A good king will frame his actions according to the law, yet he is not bound thereto but of his own goodwill."
