The French Revolution had destroyed a French monarchy based on the divine right of kings. So yes it did. Hope I helped. :)

The French Revolution contradicted the eighteenth-century political trends of absolute monarchy and divine right by emphasizing popular sovereignty, social class struggles, and the rights of citizens. It marked a shift towards democratic ideals and inspired global movements against traditional governance. This shift fundamentally altered the course of political history in Europe and beyond.
