The state tolerated Lutherans but not Calvinists.3. Lutherans could stay, but they had to pay higher taxes.4. Lutherans had to change their religion or leave the state.

Answer 1

2. The state tolerated Lutherans but not Calvinists.

Explanation:

• This statement is followed by the decision of the Augsburg Peace Treaty.
• The Peace of Augsburg is an agreement signed by Charles V and the forces of the Protestant Alliance on 25 September 1555 in the city of Augsburg.
• That agreement ended the violence between Lutherans and Catholics in Germany.
• The Peace of Augsburg was moderately successful in solving problems arising in the empire. Tolerance was increased and tension was freed from the empire. Many unresolved issues remain.
• Calvinists were not protected by the agreement, so various Protestant groups lived in Lutheran areas and were in danger of being accused by the Lutheran regional ruler of heresy. Tolerance did not officially exist for the Calvinists until after the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.
