The Black Death was a plague that killed nearly 50% of people. One of the long term effects was people's viewpoint on religion. Many people who saw the death affecting everyone and thought it was the hand of God stopped believing in God. This could have spurred the Renaissance/Enlightenment thinkers who focused on humanism and secularism. They such as John Locke believed reason was the most important, not faith. It also broke the Church's absolute power. Many of the churches who were the only place for refuge and those who went to administer last rights then got sick and died as well. Sonce so many people died, there were more jobs open and actually raised the standard of living. Wages rose because there were less people and marked the end of feudalism. It paved the way for the renaissance. It also led to persecution of certain groups such as Jews

Answer:

Explanation:

Before the Second great awakening (1790-1840), women's role in society was not so different from the role they had during the colonial era.

A citizen would be most likely to get reliable political news from which website?

Lemur [1.5K]

This depends on the system, the kind of information they need, etc...

In the most democratic countries, government sites might prove most reliable. In other, independent journalists might be better. In a way, it's almost impossible to be sure your information isn't biased.... the best is if you know who wrote it and what their agenda is: if they news is left-wing and what they report is not very left-wing, then it's perhaps reliable.
