Candidate passages:
After the April 21, 1521 assignment of the Austrian lands to Ferdinand I by his brother Emperor Charles V (also King Charles I of Spain) (1516–1556), the dynasty split into the junior branch of the Austrian Habsburgs and the senior branch of the Spanish Habsburgs.
The Austrian Habsburgs held the title of Holy Roman Emperor after Charles' death in 1558, as well as the Habsburg Hereditary Lands and the Kingdoms of Bohemia and Hungary.
The senior Spanish branch ruled over Spain, its Italian possessions and its colonial empire, the Netherlands, and, for a time (1580-1640), Portugal.
Hungary was partly under Habsburg rule from 1526.
For 150 years most of the country was occupied by the Ottoman Turks but these territories were re-conquered in 1683–1699.
In the secret Oñate treaty, the Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs settled their mutual claims.
The Spanish Habsburgs died out in 1700 (prompting the War of the Spanish Succession), as did the last male of the Austrian Habsburg line in 1740 (prompting the War of the Austrian Succession), and finally the last female of the Habsburg male line in 1780. 
Although the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Margravate of Moravia were both under Habsburg rule, they followed different paths of development.
Moravians had accepted the hereditary right of the Austrian Habsburgs to rule and thus escaped the intense struggle between native estates and the Habsburg monarchy that was to characterize Bohemian history.
In contrast, the Bohemian Kingdom had entrenched estates that were ready to defend what they considered their rights and liberties.
Habsburgs pursued a policy of centralization and conflict arose, which was further complicated by ethnic and religious issues 
Habsburg rule, Grand Principality of Transylvania (18th-19th centuries).
First decades.
After their military successes in Hungary against the Ottoman Empire in the 1680s, Habsburgs extended their influence to Transylvania, too.
Habsburg troops took control of the Principality and Leopold I issued his "Diploma Leopoldinum", the new constitution of Transylvania in 1691.
The Diploma did not radically change the Székely privileges.
In spite of this, taxation was soon introduced and villages had to accommodate troops of the Emperor.
The Székelys paid the taxes and provided services, as they declared, on a "temporary basis" and "on their own will".
During the Rákóczi Uprising between 1703 and 1711, Székelys supported Francis II Rákóczi, the last elected Prince of Transylvania.
When the Habsburgs took control of Transylvania after the uprising, Székelys were disarmed and their military services were no longer wanted.
The offices of Seat Captains were wound up but the traditional democratic Székely institutions, like their judiciary system, remained unharmed for decades to come. 
The taxation methods imposed on the Low Countries under the Habsburgs were mainly targeted at providing money for military operations.
Under Charles V, taxes in the Netherlands were raised fivefold in order to accommodate his conflict with the French.
The money that the populations of the Low Countries paid did not go toward forging a national state which could unite them under one nationality.
On the contrary the Low Countries were an integrated, prosperous, densely populated, and developing part of the Habsburg empire. 
Adam F. Kollár was closely associated with the centralist policies of Empress Maria Theresa.
Some of his publications were commissioned by her Court, although not marked as such, many others espoused its policies.
As a native of the Kingdom of Hungary, the Habsburg province that resisted centralization the most, he knew its situation.
He devoted his 1764 work "De Originibus et Usu perpetuo..." ("On the Origins and Perpetual Use of the Legislative Powers of the Apostolic Kings of Hungary in Matters Ecclesiastical") to argue for the supremacy of the Habsburgs' rule over the Roman Catholic hierarchy, over the traditional legislative powers of the Kingdom's Diet and, indirectly, over the privileges of its nobility.
Kollár supported his and the Habsburgs' position with a copious body of references to the Kingdom's history, his "Historiae diplomaticae..." from 1762 already contained a large part of the documentation.
Among other things, Kollár proposed that the tax-free status of the Kingdom's nobility be abolished.
"De Originibus et Usu perpetuo..." brought about the most explosive event in Kollár's political life.
The book caused outrage during the 1764–1765 Diet attended by Maria Theresa and did nothing to reinforce her position.
She launched damage control with a ban on further distribution of Kollár's book in the Kingdom of Hungary that included a recall of the sold copies, he was given a hint by the Habsburgs to write an apology, which he did half-heartedly in the form of a defense, and the Vatican put the book on its "index librorum prohibitorum" where it stayed for the next two centuries.
The tensions between the Habsburgs and the Kingdom of Hungary remained largely unresolved during Kollár's lifetime and his stance brought him the wrath of his fellow noblemen in the province, but he did not relent.
He lived in Vienna, the capital of all of the Habsburg Monarchy, where his views were not merely "au courrant" among its denizens, but actually radiated from the center of power.
The publication of Kollár's "De Originibus et Usu perpetuo..." (1764) was in line and perhaps coordinated with the Habsburgs' goals and he more than retained his status of Maria Theresa's favorite and influential academic partisan.
He wrote in favor of the Habsburgs' Enlightened policies, opposed serfdom and advocated religious freedom in the whole monarchy.
Maria Theresa turned to him with requests for a large number of position papers relevant to her policy.
His arguments in "Jurium Hungariæ in Russiam Minorem..." published in Latin and German in 1772 were called on by the Habsburgs to support their subsequent annexations of Galicia and Dalmatia.
