King James, who was bisexual, married Anne Oldenburg of Denmark. They had nine children, but unfortunately, two died at birth. They named their other seven children Henry, Elizabeth, Margaret, Charles I, Robert, Mary and Sophia Stuart.

King James was brought up by four tutors. George Buchanan was one of the most influential. Because of Buchanan's strict teaching methods, King James became one of the most intellectually curious men who ever sat on any throne (Comptons).

King James studied history, arithmetic, composition, Latin, Greek, cosmography, dialectics, rhetoric, and theology. He also spoke fluent Greek, Latin, French, English, and Scottish and was schooled in both Italian and

The kings also had absolute power. Absolute power is when a king does not have to obey his own laws. This means that the king did not have to obey the laws that he made for the rest of society. Absolute power is the greatest power of all. It is the greatest power to have because you have the authority to make others do what you do not have to do (Jacobsohn 63).

Saddam Hussein used one of James's political theories during his time as President of Iraq. He used absolute power the way a dictator would. He did what he needed to do to get what he wanted done. He made the armed forces stronger so he could go to war.

James I started his reign in England during 1603. He was the ruler of England until 1625. During the Middle Age, the rulers of Europe and the Pope thought that they had the divine spark. James I's political theory was that he was going to be the leader with the absolute power. The terms that apply to James I are the Divine Right of Kings, True Law of Free Monarchies, sovereign, and absolute power (Jacobsohn 63).

Queen Elizabeth II is now controlling the throne in England, but she does not use the theory of the divine right of kings or absolute power. England uses the form of Parliament as its government. So Queen Elizabeth is not the absolute leader so to speak. She acts as the overseer of Parliament. England's form of government is somewhat similar to the United States. The government is separated into different sections or branches. Even though Queen Elizabeth is the queen, she does not have the authority or power that James I had during his reign. It takes more than just one person in the contemporary world to run the government.

James's political theories in the Contemporary World do not really exist. These political theories may exist to a certain extent but today's world is not the same as it was back in James I's time.

The divine right of kings is the idea of which the kings are accountable to God alone. James used this theory to restrain the authority of the Pope to keep Roman Catholicism from dominating history. I believe that from the king's point of view this may have seemed like a reasonable thing to do, but I do not believe that the king is truly accountable to God alone.

The true law of free monarchies was also very important regarding James I.
