Rolihlahla "Nelson" Mandela<span> was born on the 18th July 1918 in Qunu, South Africa. As the youngest son of a respected African chief, Rolihlahla was offered the opportunity to go to school. Here he was named "Nelson" by one of his teachers. Mandela eventually studied at both the University of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand and qualified in law, setting up a law practice in Johannesburg with his friend Walter Sisulu. It was the injustices he dealt with on a daily basis that began to influence him.</span> Political Development - Role in the ANC
In 1943 Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) which appealed to the South African government for African rights and political changes. Mandela was part of a young group which brought a new sense of youthful optimism and pro-activism to the ANC.
In 1948 the government implemented apartheid. This was a legal system causing separation of people based on their racial classification, with subsequent oppression for non-whites. The government used police and armed forces to enforce apartheid and implemented increasingly stringent laws to outlaw any opposition. In response to this the ANC began a policy of passive resistance; encouraging boycotts, "stay at home" strikes, non violent civil disobedience and non co-operation with the everyday apartheid rules and regulations.
Activism, Arrest and Imprisonment
As a highly educated lawyer with natural leadership abilities, Mandela was an influential figure within the ANC. During these years, Mandela was banned, arrested and detained numerous times and was tried for Treason in 1956 but later acquitted. As the government increasingly sought to suppress all anti apartheid movements the ANC was declared an illegal organisation in 1960. As a last resort, after the failure of peaceful resistance to challenge governnment oppression, Mandela founded Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), Spear of the Nation. this was a new underground section of the ANC, which was preparing an armed struggle to use limited sabotage against the government with the aim of achieving policy change. After being arrested, using Mandela's vast legal knowledge, throughout the trial the accused stated their position as oppressed political activists, who were willing to use any means to help achieve an egalitarian South Africa. Mandela's final speech to the court stated:
"<span>I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."</span>
Answer:
<u>He believed that he was undermining the role of the Emperor and the church</u>
Explanation:
Worm Edict - is the official document by which Charles V, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, declared Martin Luther a heretic and a state enemy.
The Edict of Worm was published in May 1521. The edict stemmed from the questioning of Martin Luther before the emperor and the pope's legacy, and Luther's refusal to deny his theses and claims in his other writings, pointing to some unbiblical teachings of the Catholic Church, as well as to the gospel of contrary customs and the laws promulgated by the Church.
A member of the Habsburg dynasty, as well as the emperor of Spain, Charles V (1500-1558) was one of the most powerful emperors of the so-called. The "Holy Roman Empire", known for its opposition to the Reformation and its support for a powerful Inquisition whose work was intensified by his ancestors Isabella and Ferdinand.Over the growing political and religious unrest in Germany, as well as the Emperor's preoccupation with other problems in the Empire, the Worm Edict was never implemented in work. After his announcement, Luther's influence in Germany grew steadily. He spent the rest of his life laying the foundations of Protestantism, reforming worship and church music, and translating the Bible. He died on 18 February 1546 at the age of 63. However, hundreds and thousands of Protestants across Europe are going to judge, at the loss of life and in the secrecy of the dungeons, the various political tools of Rome, precisely on the basis of this document by which Martin Luther and all his helpers and followers are outlawed as enemies of God and the people.
