Abstract
The construction of various models of society and the state that veered away from the concepts of traditional theology were mainly rooted in radical scepticism. Bodin played no small part in this transformation, as Bodin was the first to express a societal framework not encompassed by the Christian doctrine. Also, Bodin discovered how sovereignty was to be treated as a political reality that excluded religious undertones, aside from how economic policies should be based on the state's general social and material interests. Along with such shifts in thinking, it is important to note that the natural law and raison dʼÉtat was gradually being separated from church teachings, which started to consider the state's various responsibilities and duties to society.
