When Calvin had arrived in Geneva, the city was in complete religious and political turmoil and this allowed him to continue writing the Institutes of Christian Religion that he had started writing in Basle. In 1541, the Little Council passed Calvin’s Ecclesiastical Ordinances which was an organisational method that Calvin had proposed that had 4 different offices of the church and explained how each person was to be appointed. This was a very important part of Calvin’s ideas that lead the success of the Genevan reformation as it was a systematic structure that shared out the responsibilities of the church and had a great emphasis on the discipline and education. The Ordinances also brought a sense of community in the city as everyone had a responsibility in running the church and the commoners knew who to go to if there were any problems. Furthermore, this led to the success of the reformation as all the appointments were passed through the Little Council.
The king was supposed to be chosen by God to rule the people in the way he commanded. The king was the closest thing to God on earth and the people of royalty generally ruled closely with the church. As the monarchy's rein started to come to an end, the church's tight grip on the citizens slowly started to loosen. With the implication of democracy, the church lost all real power to make laws and actually govern the people. The church still held power over peoples' morals, but without the monarchy's to enforce it the church's found their power decreasing.
Despite the reformation, many ordinary people were religiously, socially and economically dependent on the remaining catholic institutions and social structures that remained, for example the Chantries. And whilst it can be argued that the protestant privy council under Somerset was hesitant to impress radical reform, their policy of completing the attack on church corporate property in the chantries act 1547, did more to dismantle the local community, and therefore the socio-economic stability of the ordinary person since the reformation. For example, the chantry was the cornerstone of local villages such as Morebath in Devon. The Chantries Act required representatives from each parish to declare anything that was liable for confiscation. For the people of Morebath, this meant a prohibition of the church ale.
They felt the Native Californians were pagans who were desperately in need of conversion to Christianity for the salvation of their souls. This conversion was a high priority and was accomplished through baptism, instruction in Catholic rituals, moral education, inclusion into the mission community, and enforcement of strict discipline. The Indians were worked hard and paid little. The missions were dependent on native labor to construct buildings, tend the crops, care for the animals and produce goods. The Spanish saw the native neophytes as little more than slaves, who cost nothing to acquire and nothing to maintain.
However, wars generally led to very expensive costs to the country. Henry's father, Henry VII, left the country in quite a stable state economically, but Henry devoted most of England's money into his campaigns to take over France, because he believed had a right to the Throne. To some extent source 4 supports the idea that the foreign policy did fail due to the lack of resources, because it states that “the young warrior family accepted the fact that royal finances could not support a repetition of the campaign of 1513”. This quote implies that the lack of resources seems to be the dominant reason for stopping Henry from invading France and therefore source 4 supports the statement to some extent. In source 4 we also learn that much must have depended on diplomatic relations with Maximilian and Ferdinand, however Henry’s allies proved unfaithful and unreliable.
This was one action taken by almost all of the colonies to get rid of it, and was the first example of unity. Decisions being made by these colonies had benefited the colonies’ alliance. According to Document 4, because of the king’s tyrannical rule, colonists were not permitted to trade around the world; they were given specific colonies to trade with. The colonists were also being imposed of taxes without their consent, or being voiced. He deprived them of many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.
The political dissolution of the central governments throughout Europe resulted in feudal systems in which broken-down provinces comprised of Knights, nobles, and peasants. There was no form of central authority which caused neighboring kingdoms to war with each other. The Church saw this chaos and reacted in a sense to utilize these poor living conditions to use the mass as a religious army. The Church used religion to gain the support of the masses. Each part of life, such as love, birth, death was controlled by Christian dogma; fear was used in this belief system.
Reformation: John Calvin and Martin luther: A. In the 16th century in Germany the common people did not have the religious freedom we have today. People didn’t make their own deisons on religon they let a corrupt ctaholic church do it for them. The church took money and taxes from the people to use for themselsves making there followers work for them with punushments when they couldn’t deliver. Martin Luther saw this as a major issue as from a young age he excperinsed what it was like to be made to do soemthing.
We would allow them to carry on with stealing our hard earned money for them selves and then saying we need to pay more. No one before Martin Luther had done anything about the church, we are not even sure if people noticed the church was this corrupt before. But Martin Luther did and now we do not have to deal with the corrupt ways of the church. Outside of religion, Martin Luther is also famous for being one of the only people in his life time to plan his own kidnapping with his friend to avoid persecution by the church. Luther was "Kidnapped" for almost a full year before returning
