By the early eighteenth century, European intellectuals increasingly linked the successes of Newtonian physics—mathematical laws describing motion and gravity—to hopes for reforming society. In many states, censorship and confessional divisions remained strong after the wars of religion, yet the growth of print culture and transnational correspondence allowed philosophes to circulate critiques of superstition and arbitrary authority. Some thinkers argued that the same rational principles used to study nature could be applied to government, law, and economics. Which Enlightenment idea is most consistent with this broader "Newtonian" confidence in universal laws?
