The French revolution and the the American revolution and replaced by the divine right of the rich

A Deo rex, a rege lex

"The king is from God, the law from the king"

James I of England

If Rmoney has any Latin his motto would be:

A Deo dives, a dives lex

"The rich are from God, the law from the rich."

Probably poor Latin grammar but the best my ancient mind can do.
