So, the Chinese believed, in their Imperial days, that a just ruler was blessed by heaven, and should be obeyed, but a depostic ruler did not have heaven's favor, and SHOULD be removed, for a better ruler.
This applied to entire dynasties. If a dynasty was corrupt, then the state is allowed by heaven to go into civil war and chaos, until a new state, with a "just" ruler is chosen to rule.
But what if, beyond simply the divine right to rule, Western societies had this outlook? And how would they achieve this outlook?
