Answer: c. a member of the British Parliament
This quotation argues that the power of absolute monarchs is invested in them by God. Therefore, they have the "divine right" to rule.
The most likely individual to disagree with this statement would be a member of the British Parliament. If kings were indeed like God himself, there would be no need to control or restrict their operations. However, this is the fuction of Parliament. Moreover, Parliament is the way in which common people are represented in government, which would be discouraged if the King had been appointed by divine right.
On the other hand, French aristocrats, bishops, and absolute monarchs are more likely to believe in this position as they benefit from both the monarchy and the interconnection between politics and religion.

Charles II was James' brother and he ruled before Cromwell's republic. When it ended, James II inherited the throne and became the ruler. He fought the parliament and proclaimed religious tolerance. People called William to invade because it was a mostly protestant country and James supported Catholics. William came and after that he passed the Bill of Rights.
The Electoral College was created by the constitution is false. It's actually part of the unwritten constituition, or rights that are a given and don't have to be put in the constituition.
