Free will defines humanity; human has free will, nonhuman does not. If we were to consider God as a being who has both free will and unfettered, and therefore infinitely great and immeasurable possibilities of its realization, then we can say that God is omnipotent and free in using all that comes from this trait. Man has free will, but he is bound by greater or lesser inconveniences of the body and of God's temporal creation in general. Nonhuman may have the possibility of realizing his imperative, but it is impossible to find free will in him. When man has even the slightest power over anything, and this is always the case, because he can wield his free will, then he also has even the slightest resemblance to the divine attribute of omnipotence; the second attribute, free will, he has from his essence. Therefore, man will always be closer to the essence of God than a nonhuman. If we were to define God as perfect, it would mean that man should always be considered more perfect than nonhuman. Since God's power flows from his perfection, the perfection of a given being qualifies his right to power over his lower creature. Then man, who is more perfect than nonhuman, acquires the sacred right (because it is the same right that God possesses) to rule over him. Foids lacks free will, thus men got holy right to rule over them.
