Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. In 313, Constantine issued the Edict of Milan granting all people in the Roman Empire freedom to worship whatever god they wished.

Explanation:

The Edict of Milan was proclaimed in 313 in the name of the emperors Constantine I and Licinius, who ruled the eastern and western parts of Rome. According to Edict, the Roman Empire became impartial in terms of religious beliefs, which finally removed obstacles to the practice of Christianity and other religions. It was a crucial step from hostile neutrality to friendly neutrality and protection, paving the way for the recognition of Christianity as the official religion of the kingdom. Constantine was indeed the first emperor to give concrete support to the Christian Church and its activities.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. All people in the Roman Empire freedom to worship whatever god they wished

Explanation:

The Edict of Milan gave way for the tolerance of other religions in the Roman empire. Christianity now had the freedom to practice their religion without fear of persecution again. It gave room to freedom of association to any religion by the Romans.
