Members of the Second State, together with members of the First State, were lords during the feudalist era. Feudal systems were based on the system of rights and obligations known as manorialism, and governed economic relationships during the medieval era in Europe.

The privileged social groups, the clergy (First State) and the nobles (Second State), were landowners. They granted their fields to peasants (Third State), who could cultivate them for a living in exchange for becoming vassals to their lords, who had total rights over them. On the first hand, peasants had to pay "taxes" to their lords to be able to feed themselves from their fields, and had to obbey any of their orders. In turn, lords promised protection to their vassals, as they were powerful enough to have some military forces under their command.

Evaluate whether or not the catholic church in the 1600s was opposed to new ideas in science

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Explanation:

The 15th century was mentioned as the time during which the people began to doubt the teachings of the spiritual scriptures and want to know the truth. This led to the evolution of science and scientific ideas in various parts of the world. This is known as the time of the intellects.

The experimenters like Copernicus concluded that the Sun is the centre of the Solar system which opposed the ideas of the teachings of the Bible which said that Earth was the centre. The catholic church criticized him for his new ideas.

Later Galileo represented his ideas of the pendulum, speed of falling objects, the telescope findings, astronomical findings and was also criticized earlier but later he used to publish the new ideas in the form of books.

Such evidence shows that the catholic church was against scientific ideas as people can begin to question the teachings of the Bible.
