When it comes to the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages, we should mention the close connection between the Church and the empire as well as the monarch. This created a political connection between the Church and the rulers, where mutual help and support were provided. In the absence of new ideas that would confront such a combination, until the appearance of the Renaissance, this political tie was very effective in its domination. In addition to the Catholic Church, there was also the Orthodox Church which had a similar concept. The clergy played an important role in spreading and strengthening church learning, with effective methods to prevent any "heresy". The Church had great economic power and wealth and played a decisive role in making political decisions. The rulers, on the other hand, benefited because the Church secured their legitimacy through the idea of a divine ruler established under the patronage of the Church.

At the time, most rulers were Catholic and believed that the Pope had influence over all of them. And to top all of that, Roman Catholicism was the only Christian religion at the time.

What parallels can you draw between how you feel about the Parents' Constitution and concerns some people might have felt about

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The parallel that can be drawn between how I feel about the Parent's Constitution and concern some people might have felt about the U.S. Constitution ratification in 1789 was that New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the document and it was subsequently agreed that government under the U.S., the Constitution would begin on March 4, 1789 while the Parent's Constitution is an integral provision/part of the ratified constitution of the U.S.A. Though, the constitution and its provisions have undergone a series of amendments over the years, it has not changed the fact that the parent's constitution is a provision/part of the constitution not an equal document.

"To what extent did technology help with spreading Nazi propaganda to the German people

Bess [88]

Answer:

The Nazis were skilled propagandists who used sophisticated advertising techniques and the most current technology of the time to spread their messages.

Once in power, Adolf Hitler created a Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda to shape German public opinion and behavior.

Nazi propaganda played an integral role in advancing the persecution and ultimately the destruction of Europe’s Jews. It incited hatred and fostered a climate of indifference to their fate.

It would be the "legislative branch" that is divided into two separate chambers--one is called the Senate and the other is called the House of Representatives. This is called a "bicameral" legislature.
