The correct answer is the Civil Rights Act

Although many provisions of the civil rights act and similar acts that followed ban all abuse of constitutional rights by officers who separate their detainees based on color, it is a problem that still haunts the US. Things like racial profiling are still a thing and even though they are banned by the civil rights act it still happens from time to time.

Which was not a cause of the Protestant Reformation? Question 11 options: A.the Renaissance spirit of questioning authority B.sa
ollegr [7]
If I'm remembering correctly, the Protestant Reformation was a direct challenge to the Catholic church during the Renaissance.  The Renaissance spirit of questioning authority (A) WAS a cause.  During this time period, the Renaissance, people were beginning to think for themselves about the traditions they had followed for centuries--including the Catholic church.

The sale of indulgences (B) was also a cause: people were unhappy that the Catholic church was making money by selling forgiveness of your sins.  That's just not right!  It drove many people away from Catholicism.

I believe the Council of Trent (C) was a RESPONSE to the Protestant Reformation, where Catholicism was looked at a little more closely.  The council was very much against the Protestant Reformation.  This option is an effect, not a cause.

Answer: C
