The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
The Netherlands was more democratic than most 17th-century European nations in that in those years, the Netherlands was formed by seven provinces under one confederation. People from each providence elected their rulers and the provinces were independentist but decently related to the other provinces.
In 1588, these providences accepted to form the Republic of United Netherlands, and this decision made the nation stronger, making the Netherlands a superpower in Europe, in a time when European monarchies and absolutist kings dominated many lands in the continent and abroad.
Maybe there were no cures, vaccines, or antibodies at the time. Medicine was never completely discovered for centuries to come, which is why the Black Plague occurred during the medieval/Middle Ages.
