Explanation:

• First question: In an absolute monarchy, the monarch has supreme power. They are not just a figurehead (that's in a constitutional monarchy), don't need to consult elected officials (as there's no real power - sharing with elected bodies in an absolute sense), and don't share power with local leaders (local leaders get power from the monarch). So the monarch has the final say in all governmental matters.
• Second question: The "divine right of kings" is the belief that monarchs get their authority directly from God. It's not about being chosen by the people (that's a democratic or elective principle), not a democratic - based governance (as it's autocratic in nature), and not a law limiting monarchy (it's a justification for monarchy's power).
• Third question: The revolt that overthrew King Charles I led to the establishment of a republic (Oliver Cromwell's rule) but eventually paved the way for the Glorious Revolution which established a constitutional monarchy. It did not lead to the return of absolute monarchy as there were more checks on the monarch's power after.

Answer:

• First question: The monarch has the final say in all governmental matters.
• Second question: The belief that monarchs derive their authority directly from God.
• Third question: It established a constitutional monarchy.
