<FONT color=#006633>Abstract: The political and religious
crises of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, with
fears, wars, and rebellions, led philosophers and rulers to
consider alternatives to what they considered the insecure and
often chaotic institutional structures of the day. For over a
century both groups defended the growth of strong monarchies
that could keep the peace and order, enforce social uniformity,
and take measures to increase national prosperity.</FONT>
