During the period of absolutism in Europe, kings exercised centralized and absolute power over their territories. This form of government was justified by the theory of the 'Divine Right of Kings', which claimed that the monarch received their power directly from God and owed no accountability to any other authority. A classic example of absolutist monarchy is France under the reign of Louis XIV, the 'Sun King'. This monarch is famous for the phrase 'L'État, c'est moi' (The State, it is I), which encapsulates the idea of absolute monarchical power. Based on this context, identify and briefly describe a fundamental characteristic of European monarchical absolutism and explain how the theory of the 'Divine Right of Kings' was used to legitimize the power of sovereigns in this system of government.
