Correct answer: D. Both challenged traditions promoted by the Roman Catholic Church.

Some details about the Renaissance:

  • The rise of humanism in Italy is associated with the period in history, from the 14th to 16th centuries, that we call "The Renaissance."  Renaissance means a rebirth -- and a big part of what was being reborn in the Italian Renaissance was the classical culture and scholarship of Greece and Rome.  Scholars were unearthing many of the old writings of Greek and Roman philosophers, historians, and statesmen.  These writings -- from pagan societies -- showed the deep thinking and great acts human beings were capable of prior to the rise of Christian society in Europe. This prompted humanist scholars in Italy (and elsewhere) to give focus to the full range of human capabilities -- in art, architecture, scholarship and writing, etc.  Renaissance humanists began to question many of the church's traditional beliefs and practices.  They re-framed thinking about human beings' status in God's world.  Whereas church-dominated culture prior to the Renaissance focused mostly on the sinfulness and lowness of human beings in contrast to the greatness of God, the humanism of the Renaissance emphasized the greatness of human beings as God's creation.  Individuals were encouraged to be all they could be, learn all they could learn, do all they could do as "Renaissance men."

Some details about the Protestant Reformation:

  • The Protestant Reformation is noted as beginning with Martin Luther's posting of what are commonly called "The 95 Theses."  Luther's theses for debate challenged the church's use of indulgences.  Indulgences, by the authority of the pope, granted people the removal of penance owed in regard to their sins.  Luther objected not only to the fact that these papers were being peddled for money, but questioned many of the doctrinal foundations behind the use of indulgences.  As Luther continued his reform efforts, he protested not only indulgences, but the revering of relics, prayers to saints, the authority of the pope, and most especially, the church's teaching on how people become righteous in the eyes of God.  Other reformers, such as Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin, also became part of the Protestant Reformation activity.

Would modern liberals or modern conservatives accept the views of 19th century liberals ? Briefly explain your answer
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The words and concepts of Conservatism and Liberalism have changed in meaning since the nineteenth century.  Modern conservatives want less government intervention in their lives, which is the exact opposite of what it meant to be a conservative in the nineteenth century.  Another term for conservatism in this century is monarchism, as conservatives desired social stability through monarchical rule.  Conservatives believed in tradition and hierarchy to govern over a nation.  There were three main essential anchors of social harmony: Monarchy, Aristocracy and Church.  They did not believe that all men were created equal, and that some men were in fact born greater than others.  A nation has to have a wide reach into the lives of its citizens and that each nation was dedicated to increasing the power of the nation.  Liberals took another approach to the conservative thought of government intervention in its citizens’ lives.  They believed that each individuals had inherent rights and every citizen should be able to work their way up in the social class of the nation.  Their goal was complete economic, personal and political freedom.  Liberals were made up of primarily the middle class.  While the liberals sound like the good guys in the nineteenth century, it is important to keep in mind that they did not believe in giving power to women, the poor nor the uneducated.  Conservatism vs Liberalism was a battle between monarchs and the middle class to gain power.
