Divine origin theory of state is a speculative theory. This is the oldest theory explaining the origin of state. According to this theory, state is created by God. God has appointed the king as his representative to operate the government of state. Though this theory does not explain correctly the origin of state, still it has its own importance. 

Its importance is as follows: 

  • This theory helped to establish peace and harmony in the ancient chaotic society. 
  • This theory developed the feeling of obedience and discipline in the minds of the people. 
  • This theory explained the influence of religion in the development of state. 
  • This theory was the first attempt for systematic explanation of origin of state, which became the basis for the development of new theories regarding the origin of state.
