Answer: d. to restructure the Soviet economy

Explanation:

In March 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev proposed policies of perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (openness) in the Soviet Union. These seemed like policies that leaned in the direction of Western ways of economics and politics. Perestroika meant allowing some measure of private enterprise in the Soviet Union. Glasnost meant allowing a bit of freedom in regard to speech and publication. But don't get the idea that Gorbachev was trying to get rid of the Soviet communist system. He actually was trying to prop it up and preserve it, because it was starting to have many problems sustaining itself. But in the end, opening things up a bit with perestroika and glasnost policies only pushed the USSR further in the direction of shedding the communist model under which it had lived for so long.

What aspects of calvinism might have appealed to people in a time of uncertainty?

Paraphin [41]

Calvinism is basically Protestantism, but since John Calvin played a huge role in Calvinism, it is named after him. The people who practiced Calvinism, often believed they were "chosen" by God to like on their life and do what they are told. They thought that God had picked them to make a perfect Christian community, as they had lived good and true lives so they were hand chosen by God himself. They trusted in the fact that if they did this and created a pure Christian community, while living a happy life with no sin, they would earn salvation from God.
