Answer:

C. to escape poor economic conditions in England and avoid persecution

Explanation:

The Migration of Puritans to New England was marked in its effects in the two decades from 1620 to 1640, after which it sharply declined for a time. The term "Great Migration" generally refers to the migration in this period of English colonists, mainly Puritans, to Massachusetts and the West Indies, especially Barbados, 1630-1640. They arrived in family groups (rather than as isolated individuals) and were motivated mainly by a search for freedom to practice their Puritan religion.

c. to escape poor economic conditions in England and avoid persecution

Puritans were looking to establish a place they could practice religion without persecution from the English government.

As England converted to a Protestant nation, those not agreeing with the Church of England were targeted. Puritans believed the church needed to be purified. In creating a colony the group was allowed to create a society more suitable to their beliefs.

The Roman policy toward religion was one of _____
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

It is commonly said that there are only two guarantees in life — death and taxes — but what can be more taxing than the prospect of one’s own death? Ceasing to exist is an overwhelmingly terrifying thought and it is one which has plagued individuals for centuries. This ancient stressor has been addressed over time by a number of different religious explanations and affirmations. Arguably, this capacity to provide answers for fundamental questions is what defines religion. For instance, under Hindu belief one’s soul lives on after biological death and is reborn in a new body. Under Christian belief one can expect to live in a heavenly paradise once one’s time runs out on earth. These are just two examples, but the extension of the self beyond its physical expiration date is a common thread in religious texts.

These promises of new life and mystifying promise lands are not simply handed out to everyone, however. They require an individual to faithfully practice and participate in accordance to the demands of specific commandments, doctrines, rituals, or tenants. Furthermore, despite one’s own faith in the words of an ancient text, or the messages of a religious figure, an individual will remain exposed to the trials, tribulations, and discomforts that exist in the world. During these instances a theodicy — a religious explanation for such sufferings — can help keep one’s faith by providing justification as to why bad things happen to good, faithful people. Theodicy is an attempt to explain or justify the existence of bad things or instances that occur in the world, such as death, disaster, sickness, and suffering. Theodicies are especially relied on to provide reason as to why a religion’s God (or God-like equivalent) allows terrible things to happen to good people.
