It transfers the principle of negation into history, wants to leave the King's place empty and abolish any divine right. That's how the regicide aims at the deity murder. "To confront divine law with natural law and to force it to be compatible with it for three years, from 1789 to 1792, already means to destroy it"(1). >Natural justice, >A. Camus. 1.
