Answer 1

The statement "Kings sit upon God’s throne and rule according to God’s law" suggests a belief in a monarchy where the authority of the king is derived from a divine source. This aligns most closely with **Absolutism**, which is the political doctrine that holds that a single ruler (the monarch) has absolute power over the state, often justified by divine right.

So the correct response is:

**Absolutism**
