The two main cultures that influenced the renaissance were Ancient Greek and Ancient Rome.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Christianity was emerged from the Ancient Rome culture so the scholars and philosophers who believed in Ancient roman culture were aware of the Greek culture as well.

The cultures followed the intellectual path and hence declined in middle ages. The renaissance is considered to begin from the Christianity teachings and the questions raised for the philosophers and scholars so it connects back to the Rome and Greek culture.

spayn [35]

The Prohibitory Act of 1775 was passed as a measure of retaliation by Great Britain against the general rebellion then going on in the American colonies, which became known as the American Revolutionary War (or, in the UK, the American War of Independence).

The Prohibitory Act served as an effective declaration of war by Great Britain; a blockade being an act of war under the law of nations. The colonies and Congress immediately reacted by issuing letters of marque that authorized individual American ship owners to seize British ships in a practice known as privateer; further, the act moved the American colonists more towards the option of complete independence, as the King was now declaring his "subjects" out of his protection, and levying war against them without regards to distinction as to their ultimate loyalty or their petitions for the redress of grievances.

With the contemporaneous importation by the British of bands of foreign auxiliaries into the American colonies to suppress the rebellion by sack, pillage, fire, and the sword (the infamous Hessian), and the stirring up of hostile bands of Native Americans on the frontier by the King's men to raid the colonists, it became clear, even "self-evident" to the colonists that they would neither find liberty nor security under the King's protection, and thus, they exercised certain inalienable rights, and a rebellion turned into a war of national independence.

andre [41]

Answer:

a. began before the Reformation and lasted through the seventeenth century.

Explanation:

The Movable Type Printing Press was invented by the famous Johann Gutenberg and this went a long way to significantly influence and amplify the spread or dissemination of information during the Protestant Reformation.

The Movable Type Printing Press was an invention which allowed the Protestant Reformation to spread rapidly throughout Europe.

John Calvin was a theologian during the Protestant reformation in Geneva.

He was born on the 10th of July, 1509 and he died on the 27th of May, 1564. Also, the theological foundation of his Protestantism was Predestination.

In his work titled "Institutes of the Christian Religion." he stated that, all human beings are wicked and weak; thus, no matter what, only those who were predestined would be privileged to go to heaven.

Basically, the doctrine of calvinism known as predestination emphasizes that, God has chosen or selected some people to be destroyed eternally and others to be saved (go to heaven). Also, those people who have been predestined for eternal destruction cannot be saved even by their good works.

Furthermore, the fear of witchcraft in Europe also known as Wiccaphobia was considered to be a societal norm that started in the fourteenth century across the Christian side of Europe and the United States of America. This fear led to so much national panic, as well as the torture and death of numerous number of people who were proclaimed to have had witches or sorcery.

Hence, the great European fear of witchcraft (Wiccaphobia) began before the Reformation and lasted through the seventeenth century.

In which way did the black power movement most differ from King's movement

Harlamova29_29 [7]

The Black Power movement led by Malcom X had ideas similar to King's movement, being that they both wanted rights for African-Americans, but the way they protested is where they differed. Malcom X criticized MLK's method of peaceful protest, and took to having a more radical and violent way of protest and fighting back against oppression. I hope this helps :)
