Absolute monarchy – a form of government where a single ruler, usually called a king or queen, has complete control over all parts of the government. His/her power is not limited by a constitution or by the law. In an absolute monarchy, the transmission of power is hereditary.
Divine right - a monarch is not subject to any rule on earth and his right to rule comes directly from God. The king is not a subject to the will of his people, the aristocracy, and in some cases the church. Any attempt to depose the king or restrict his powers is going against the will of God.
