<span>Many believed the Church needed to be reformed. In the 1500s Kings such as Charles V had a sole political strategy: centralisation. This 'centralisation' included forming one State religion throughout the empire. However followers of Calvin and Luther (generally Protestants) were not very pleased with this. God was in their eyes more important than the sovereign. A King strenghtening his centralisation policy of setting Catholicism as the sole religion, consequently sparked political conflicts in the empire as well.
For example, the area what we nowadays call Germany existed in that time from seperate semi-sovereign areas headed by a so-called 'elector'. Electors chose the ruling emperor/king. In 1555 the Peace of Augsburg was signed as a direct effect of the wars between the ultimate sovereign and the semi-sovereign electors. Charles V agreed upon the division of religion within his empire ("cuius regio, eius religio"): the ruler dictated the religion of the ruled in the seperate areas that made up the Holy Roman Empire (HRE).
So, the reformation led to warfare because of different ideas by the ruler and his people. That led to political conflict mainly because the people also didn't agree with the ruler's centralisation policy.</span>
The feudalism system was kind of like conquering everything as your own(take the Japanese civil war for example) the decline of this lead to:
1.newer trade routes brought more wealth and job opportunities.
2. the serfs or peasants weren't being respected enough by the king and the crusader knights fought for their freedom.
3. peasants had a right to own land and prevent any merchants from taking it.
your answers should be the first one and the last one.

President Nixon's goal of using the New Federalism policy was to give more political power back to the state governments.
Nixon felt that ever since the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the federal government had become too involved to the point where it became overbearing. Instead of using this style of government, Nixon introduced the idea of giving the power of the states to decide on issues like how to spend money from the federal government. This resulted in states having more freedom on how they spent money given to them by the federal government.
