Separation of powers
The executive legislative, judicial powers of the government limit the control each other in a system of checks and balances.
By preventing any one person or group from gaining to much power, this system provides the greatest freedom and security for the state.
Laissez-faire
The best system for laissez-laird was made in 1776 by Adam Smith in his famous work The Wealth Nation. It's means let people do what they want. Smith believed that the state should not interfere in economic matters.

During the Reformation era, the Roman Catholic Society of Jesus, Jesus was founded and became a leading group in promoting and providing education. They tended to stress traits, such as discipline that were important to the philosophers. Established religious organizations. Opposed it as human freedom. I don't think the Roman Catholics have changed from our world to day because people still pray to God and they also ask God questions.
