How did the king's trial and execution challenge old divine monarchy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The king was considered accountable to the nation and punishable, rather than above the law

The trial and execution of Louis XVI in 1793 showed that a king was not above the law or the sovereignty of the nation. It directly challenged the old belief in the divine right of kings—the idea that a monarch ruled by God’s authority. Option D describes a constitutional monarchy, but the trial and execution were followed by the abolition of monarchy and the establishment of a republic. Exam tip: Link divine monarchy with divine right, and its rejection with popular or national sovereignty.
