Why did the church support the geocentric theory

harkovskaia [24]

The Geocentric theory or model proposed that the Earth was the center of the universe and the Sun rotated around it. Religion played a big role throughout history in trying to perpetuate this scientifically erroneous idea, which started appearing as a biblical perspective pointing towards specific passages in the holy book. A classic one would be Psalms 93:1, in which Earth is described as a static place "established, firm and secured". The church's support of geocentrism can be traced back to literal intepretations of the bible and a refusal to lose credibility and power as science proved them wrong.

The Articles of Confederation had a Weak ___________ government

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{Central}}$

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the newly formed country of the USA's government set. It was mainly written by John Dickinson, a delegate from Delaware. It placed 13 laws that controlled state and country governments.

However, these laws put main power on the state governments while giving the central government almost none. This was due to the fact that they had just gone through a revolution against Britain, and they were controlled by a monarchy. The Americans were afraid that with a strong central government, it would become a monarchy just like Britain. They wanted to avoid this due to the taxes that a monarchy placed on them.

This led to a weak central government which caused all the states to act as independent countries. It also lead to different currencies in each state, which was a problem for farmers, as they couldn't pay their debts from money earned in the war.

Farmers were sometimes put in prison for not paying their debts, and they lost their farms. This caused Shays Rebellion, which called for a new system where the central government had more power.

This system was revised into the Constitution we have today.
