Answer 1

Respuesta:

They tend to oppose, in a long seventeenth century, a Spanish model and a French model. The Spanish model would be characterized by the interweaving of the political and the religious, manifested in the militant defense of catholicity, and in an imperial dimension that the consecrated expression of «compound monarchy», associated with a transactional practice of the power. The French model, for its part, would be noted for the distinction between political and religious imperatives, as well as the triumph of absolutism.
