(Latin: Whose rule, his religion) A phrase summing up the religious peace in Germany after the Reformation. It means that a ruler has the right to determine the religion of his territory. His subjects have the alternative of moving to a section where their religion is supreme. The principle trampled on all rights of conscience.
