1 answer:

8 0

The Smith Act was a 1940 federal law that made it a crime to advocate overthrowing the US government or to create an organization with the goal of trying to overthrow the government. This was supposed to discourage communism because American citizens were worried that communists would try to overthrow the government like they did in the Soviet Union two decades earlier.

The HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee) was a federal agency that called before Congress to question their ties to the Soviet Union or communist party. This discouraged communism in the US because individuals who were called in front of Congress were often blacklisted. This meant that they would no longer be able to find work in the industry of their choice.

Martin Luther objected to what policy of the Catholic Church, which prompted him to write and post his Ninety-Five Theses

Ivenika [448]

Indulgences.

Essentially, what the Catholic Church decided to do was to convince its subjects that paying it in small fees would reduce the amount of time they would spend in Purgatory (think the place between Heaven and Hell). These fees were called indulgences, and people could pay to have their or their family members' years in Purgatory slightly shaved off. This, of course, allowed it to gain much money, as people's years in Purgatory sometimes numbered in the thousands, if not the MILLIONS. 

Martin Luther was angered at such a system, finding it deceptive and corrupt. He wrote and posted his Ninety-Five Theses in defence of the Church, but with disdain towards the indulgence system.
