CEVAP:

Seeds for the concept of the individual as king were expressed during the Protestant Reformation, which was inspired by Martin Luther, John Calvin, and others, during the 16th century. This movement tried to place individual behavior above the strict rules of the Catholic Church. Together it was claimed that rather than through discipline administered by organized religion, individuals were naturally able to speak directly with God. More importantly, perhaps,
individuals were right to resist the corrupt behavior of the Church.
