“The royal power is
absolute. . . . [the King] need render account of his acts to no one. . . . Without this
absolute authority the king could neither do good nor repress evil. It is necessary that his power be
such that no one can hope to escape him. . . . The prince[King] . . . is not regarded as a
private person: he is a public personage, all the state is in him; the will of all the people is
included in his. As all perfection and all strength are united in God, so all the power of
individuals is united in the person of the prince [King].”
—Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet,
“Politics Drawn from the Very Words of Scripture,” 1679
