5. According to John Green, Luther's success with the rebellion stemmed from his ability to, initially, make his teachings resonate with peasants and youths. But this resonance did not last long. Luther soon turned his teachings against the peasants in favor of the kings and princes.

6. Luther's or the peasants' argument about serfdom was correct. No one should endure bondage or serfdom, with increasing taxation without representation.

7. The reasons that Princes and Kings defied the Pope and broke away from the Church were to possess landed property formerly owned by the Church (Wealth), decide how they practiced religion (e.g. divorce), and boost their military powers (making people loyal to the government instead of to the Church).

8. The Reformation was ultimately a wrong move because it split the Church, creating too many denominations with different and confusing interpretations of the Bible. However, there are some valuable lessons. It separated the Church from the state. It created religious freedom.

The Church has no business mingling with the state. The Church and the state should remain separate, complementing each other like institutions. Governments should not regulate religion because it is a personal endeavor. It is a spiritual enterprise and not social or economic. There are some aspects of life in which the state should not involve itself. Otherwise, individual rights suffer jeopardy.

Thus, the Reformation was a bag of the good and the ugly. Reformation should happen within and not without the Church. Luther's outcome seems to be projected from Satan. Any Reformation outside the Church is no Reformation. It is simply Separation and Division, generating Confusion.

How does the Trail of Death change Equa-Ke-Sec's life?

just olya [345]

Answer:

The Trail of Death gave Equa-Ke-Sec a strength and survival instinct she didn't have before.

Explanation:

Although you did not present the text to which this question refers, we can consider, in the context of the question, that you are referring to "The Long March" written by Peggy King Anderson.

In this story, Equa-Ke-Sec is a Native American child of the Potawatomi tribe, who was forced to walk for long days from his homeland to the West because of the ambition of the American settlers to possess the sacred lands of the Potawatomi. The trip was extremely tiring, violent and with few resources. Many people died and others became seriously ill, including Equa-Ke-Sec, but she resisted and survived. This difficult episode of her life, was full of difficulty, but it gave a great strength and an instinct to survive unbeatable that she passed on to her daughters, who passed on to her granddaughters and so on.
