The correct answer is A.

The discount rate is the interest rate that the Federal Reserve charges US banks if they wish to borrow money. In turn, it is an instrument that the Federal Reserve uses to perform its monetary policy. It can be used if intending to boost or to contract the economy when needed, and also to control inflation levels.

By lowering the discount rate, banks can enjoy cheaper access to funding from the Federal Reserve. Low interest rates trigger higher levels of the demand of money in the economy and this mechanisms in turn increase the money supply.

Explain why puritanism appealed to many people living during the early modern european period
DIA [1.3K]

The early modern European period occurred roughly from the 1450's until the 1700's.  

Puritanism arose during the late 1500's and appealed to those that wanted to "purify" the English Church and English culture. Puritans lived strictly by the Bible and wanted to do away with the former glitz, glamour, ceremony, rituals, and riches of the Catholic Church. They believed that the combination of church and government, the King was the head of the country's government and church, would lead to tyrannical rule.  

Also, Englishmen wanted to be purely "English" with no ties to Spain or its Catholicism. This included religion. The common man often could agree with this anti-Spanish/Catholic and stance wanting to break ties with their Spanish rivals after the defeat of the Spanish Armada by the British Navy.

During the early European/Elizabethan time period Catholics and the Catholic clergy were not to be trusted with priests being executed or tortured and their supporters fined or imprisoned.
