With the invention of the printing press the knowledge was made easier to spread which led to greater education and greater social mobility. This also made the Bible accessible to more people. People were looking for more personalized approach to their spiritual needs. It was Martin Luther who made openly challenged the teachings of the Catholic Church by posting his famous thesis against the selling of indulgences. After they branded him a heretic he denied the idea that the Church is a mediator between God and man.

By the time of the Reformation, European society was experiencing greater social mobility. The rising middle class was challenging the established social order. Humanists stressed the central importance of individual talents and performance regardless of noble descent. Printing made books widely available and facilitated access to the Bible for literate lay people. People were increasingly looking for a personalized approach to religion to accommodate diverse spiritual needs and guide individuals in their quest for salvation.
Martin Luther, a pious German Augustinian monk and a professor of theology who was of modest middle class origin, resented the indulgences, which he found incompatible with a personal connection to God. He posted his objections. Because he was a forceful and effective writer in both German and Latin, he soon became very popular with the German reading public. When the Papacy denounced him as a dangerous heretic, he responded by denying the notion of clergy as a separate estate and the Church's claims to be the sole mediator between people and God. He stressed the importance of the individual believer's conscience and faith. He also translated the Bible into German and argued that Scripture as the Word of God was much more reliable than Church traditions. His numerous followers formed their own religious communities, creating Protestantism as an independent religion.

GIVING BRAINLIEST HEART AND FIVE STARS!

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

In search of fame and fortune, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480-1521) set out from Spain in 1519 with a fleet of five ships to discover a western sea route to the Spice Islands. En route he discovered what is now known as the Strait of Magellan and became the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean. The voyage was long and dangerous, and only one ship returned home three years later. Although it was laden with valuable spices from the East, only 18 of the fleet’s original crew of 270 returned with the ship. Magellan himself was killed in battle on the voyage, but his ambitious expedition proved that the globe could be circled by sea and that the world was much larger than had previously been imagined.

In the early and mid-1800s, sectionalism was strongest

Digiron [165]

1. If my memory serves me well, in the early and mid-1800's, sectionalism was strongest in the South, where people felt their economy depended on slavery. After the invention of the cotton there were very high demand for slave labor and slavery become the necessary part of agricultural output in the South.

2. I am definitely sure that, Henry Clay’s American System, which was established in the early 1800's, placed tariffs on foreign imports to build roads and infrastructure. The main goal of Henry Clay's American System was to support the domestic economy of the United States.

3. As far as I remember, South Carolina eventually repealed its Ordinance of Nullification in exchange for the federal elimination of the Tariff of 1828 and a gradual reduction on import taxes over a decade.

4. The best description of the nullification is: the idea that a state could refuse to follow a federal law it disagreed with. That means, the state has the right to nullify any federal law if they see it unconstitutional.

Of the following sources,where might you expect to find biased information?

snow_lady [41]

While you didn't provide any possible sources, we can expect that biased information would be found when you would look for information from people who are involved in the situation that is being discussed. Imagine a soldier from Germany discussing his viewpoint of World War II. He would most likely give you a biased account. At least, when compared to a postwar historical analysis of that same situation.
