Question

Analyze how religious reform in the 16th and 17th centuries, the expansion of printing, and the emergence of civic venues such as salons and coffeehouses challenged the control of the church over the creation and dissemination of knowledge.

Answer 1

Answer:

Religious reform made people question the authority of the church and if everything they said was right.

People started to analyze if they should go to chuch and listen to someone reading for them or if it was acceptable to read by themselves. This fact led to the expansion of printing, so that more people could have access to reading by themselves and later at coffeehouses or salons they talked about the ideas they were read at church and they started to think in a very critical way as well as doubting if everything written there was real or just fake.
