When South Carolina seceded from the Union in 1860, the main justification of secession was that southerners believed secession was the only way they could preserve their institution of slavery. Not all southerners supported secession, however, but those who did argued that because the southern states were a part of the Union, their rights should be respected by the federal government.

The southern states who left the Union--later becoming the Confederacy--justified their action through slavery. The southerners used and relied on slaves whereas the northerners were primarily abolitionists. The Confederacy split from the Union in hopes to preserve slavery.

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.

2. How did the Great Compromise reconcile the Virginia and New Jersey Plans for organizing the

german

Answer:

B. It established two houses: the House of Representatives where state size determined number of representatives, and the Senate where each state would have only two senators no matter what its size

Explanation:

The Great Compromise led to the formation of a bicameral legislature that comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The problem which led to the formation of these houses was the contention between the small and large states. The large states wanted representation on the basis of numbers while the small states wanted representation equal representation to avoid domination by the larger states.

Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth proposed this Great compromise that eventually resolved the problem between the opposing parties. The house of representatives allowed the representation of the states on the basis of numbers while the senate allowed each state no matter the population to only have two elected representatives.
