Prompt: Describe a difference between the Dutch Golden Age and The Spanish Golden Age.
The primary difference between Spanish and Dutch golden age was the strength of their middle classes. While the Dutch had a strong middle class, the Spanish had a very weak one. The weakness of the Spanish middle class can be traced back to the Spanish inquisition and the Reconquista, as the non-Catholics who were forced out of Spain made up a large portion of the Spanish merchant class. Due to this, there was a distinct lack of capitalistic and entrepreneurial spirit in the Spanish middle class, leading them to fall behind in manufacturing.

One factor responsible for the idea that everything in our world can be observed by natural causes was Newton’s discovery of gravity. His understanding of gravity first put in the idea that our universe is governed by laws, which in turn led to the mechanistic worldview. Because our universe is governed by functions, they must be able to be observed. If they are to be observed properly, men can live in perfect harmony with nature and the universe, driving Enlightenment scholars like Leclerc to explain as much as they can about the world.
