Position of the Monarch

Solution
Humayun and Akbar believed that “royalty is a light emanating from God, a ray from the sun.” The Mughal state was a “centralized autocracy”. In other words, the king’s powers were unlimited. He was the “head of the government, the commander of the armed forces, and the fountain of justice.” He was also the chief legislator because his word was law.
