How does the divine rights of kings clashes with the idea of a social contract?

The divine rights of kings posits that monarchs derive their authority directly from God, making their rule unquestionable and absolute. This clashes with the social contract theory, which asserts that government legitimacy arises from the consent of the governed and prioritizes individual rights. While the divine right justifies authoritarian rule, the social contract emphasizes mutual agreement and accountability between rulers and citizens, promoting democratic principles over autocratic ones.
