God-given right, that the law(s) of, and in, "His" Kingdom were only an

lower Court to him, its laws and opinions always subject to his
oversight and review; and that he was free to revise or overrule them
completely whenever he wished. In the areas Royal administration and
governmental policy, the King saw no role for Parliament or to be
informally bound by its opinions at all
