Two divergent discourses, universalistic and particularistic, were simultaneously developed in Early Modern Europe. Corresponding discursive practices not only transformed the space of universalization, but also required conceptualization of a special functional unit conditionally termed here as a territorial autonomy. By the late 16th century observance of external formal boundaries and formalized privileges of feudal autonomies remained an important element of the internal structure of the Early Modern composite monarchy. Nevertheless, local customs, institutes, securing the interaction between a corporation and supreme power, local history, and traditions as well as the structure of a corporation itself became a more important component.
