Answer:

The right choice is:

A. he encouraged Catholics to question a number of practices

of the church including the sale of indulgences.

Explanation:

Martin Luther is the father of Protestant Reformation. He was a Catholic priest and a seminar theologian in Wittenberg, Germany. In the 1510s, he went to Rome and came back shocked by the sale of indulgences and papal bulls for the forgiveness of sins. He couldn´t agree with those acts aimed at enlarging the chests of the Church. After a long reflection, he openly questioned them and the authority of the Vatican. He said that Christians could win God´s grace by faith only, not through buying indulgences, and that the Bible was the ultimate authority in religious matters. The furious reaction of the Vatican was to excommunicate him given his refusal to retract.

What impact did hammurabis law have on ancient babylon
kogti [31]

The Code of Hammurabi, written in cuneiform. This promoted literacy in society. King Hammurabi ruled Babylonia from 1792-1750 BCE. Claiming that he received laws from the sun god, Shamash, Hammurabi declared a set of 282 laws known as Hammurabi's Code. These laws deal with all aspects of everyday life, and it describes both major and minor offenses and their punishments. However, the rich and poor, men and women, and elites and commoners were treated differently under the law. This deepened the social hierarchy and distinctions between classes and genders, which soon became normal and accepted in society. These laws also influenced the need for one, powerful leader. It used the political power to generate bonds between the people of different races and backgrounds. The code also unified, consolidated, and secured the empire by setting a standard for moral values, religion, class structure, and gender relationships.

What might be a far-reaching result if the court decided in favor of the speaker?
OverLord2011 [107]
<span>Since the decision of the Speaker of the House, John William McCormack, was to ask the high chamber member Adam Clayton Powell Jr. not to take an oath, because of the previous scandal in which Powell had been involved; If the jury had decided in favor of Speaker McCormack, the way of operating in the congress would have been questioned, since only one member could be expelled according to what the constitution says, and not by the decisions of the speaker. <span>The scope would have been very large if it failed in McCormack's favor, giving a sense of illegality or favoritism, and voters would feel that their representatives were not respected.</span></span>
