The answer is reason.  Philosophers of the Enlightenment believed that answer can be found through reasoning.  There were two types of reasoning during that time.  You have rationalism that relies on deduction and Empiricism which deals with experience. It took root due to the liberal atmosphere at the time.

The video you just watched revolved around a poet's interpretation of the moment Julius Caesar chose to cross the Rubicon River.
stellarik [79]

Alea iacta est ("The die is cast") is a variation of a Latin phrase (iacta alea est)  attributed by Suetonius to Julius Caesar who pronounced it in the year 49 B.C. when he was leading his army across the Rubicon river in the current territories of Northern Italy. Subsequently, he entered in Italy heading his army and defying the Roman Senate and it meant the beginning of the civil war versus Pompey and the Optimates.

  • Plutarch, referred to the same event in his written testimonies and reported the phrase but stating it was pronounced in Greek instead of Latin and that its translation meant: <em>'Let the die be cast'.</em>
  • Suetonius described the same situation, reporting a very similar phrase but not exactly the same. Let's include the exact excerpt of his writings where he did so.

<em>Caesar: '... iacta alea est,' inquit.</em>

<em>Caesar said, "The die has been cast."</em>

Thefore there are two very similar versions of the same historical events. Usually the Latin version is the most widely known, as the Latin language was more widespread all over Europe and gave rise to all the current family of Latin languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, etc).

The reason why the indulgences paid to the Catholic Church sparked the Protestant Reformation was that many religious scholars felt that indulgences went against the Words of the Bible.

<h3>How did indulgences lead to the Protestant Reformation?</h3>

Indulgences annoyed several Christian scholars such as Martin Luther who argued that paying for sins to be forgiven was against the word of the Gospel.

As a result, new denominations in Christianity broke out and this led to the period known as the Protestant Reformation.

This situation is close to dictatorship-era that kill the people who oppose the leader.
