. Formerly the absOluast powers adhered at
least to the principle of legi1macy, to the
principle OF the se-oalled .Sdivine right of
hereditary dyasstirs, which d.ey advocated

by which allowance the otherwise iDcompre.

him be an enemy of the so-called "diyine
right" Of dynastles, even; they don't care
for thai, provided he be an enemy to free in
