Samuel Pufendorf's 1687 work Of the Nature and Qualification of
Religion is considered one of the major works setting forth the
doctrine of separation of politics and religion. Written in
response to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by the French
king, Louis XIV, Pufendorf contests the right of the sovereign to
control the religion of his subjects, because state and religion
pursue wholly different ends. He concludes that, when rulers
transgress their bounds, the subjects have a right to defend their
religion, even by the force of arms.
