The '''Father of the Nation''' is an [[honorific]] title given to a person considered the driving force behind the establishment of a [[country]], [[Sovereign state|state]], or [[nation]]. {{lang|la|[[Pater Patriae]]}} (plural {{lang|la|Patres Patriae}}), also seen as {{lang|la|Parens Patriae}}, was a Roman honorific meaning the "Father of the Fatherland", bestowed by the Senate on heroes, and later on emperors. In monarchies, the [[monarch]] is often considered the "'''father/mother of the nation'''" or as a [[patriarch]] to guide his family. This concept is expressed in the [[divine right of kings]] espoused in some monarchies, while in others it is codified into constitutional law.
