The concept of the divine right of kings was questioned by the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, by the oft-quoted statement that "all men are created equal" in the United States Declaration of Independence and even by the Spanish church.
O concepto do dereito divino dos reis foi cuestionado pola Declaración Francesa dos Dereitos do Home e do Cidadán, polo artigo moi citado de que "todos os homes son creados iguais", na Declaración de Independencia dos Estados Unidos e mesmo pola igrexa española.
