  Illuminati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Internal rupture preceded its downfall, which was effected by an edict of the Bavarian government in 1785.
The Bavarian Illuminati have cast a long shadow in popular history thanks to the writings of their opponents; the lurid allegations of conspiracy that have colored the image of the Freemasons have practically opaqued that of the Illuminati.
This was done as a general edict, since the Church believed many lodges to have been infiltrated and subverted by the Illuminati, but was not able to accurately ascertain which ones.

 SEP: Jean Bodin
In 1560 Bodin returned to Paris where he was received by the Parlement as “Counsel to the king.” In 1562 he signed the oath of Catholicity that was required by the Chapter of Notre Dame of Paris as of November 15, 1561.
The edict of 1585 was confirmed by the Edict of Rouen of July 1588 and was moreover defined as the “inviolable and fundamental law.” In other words, religious concord, in this case “forced” concord, represented the highest priority for the lawmakers.
Certain roles attributed to Bodin remain unverified: the heretical Carmelite arrested in Paris in 1547; the marriage in Geneva in 1552; the Jean Bodin arrested at the priory of Saint-Denis-de-la Chartre, rue St.-Barthélemy in Paris on the 6

The war between governments and individuals determined to engage in mutually-beneficial, voluntary relationships has had many ups and downs.
Some checks on government power have been secured relatively smoothly with tax-limitation charters like the Edict of Paris in 614 A.D., the Magna Carta, and Proposition 13.
