is the answer c and d
The correct answer is C & B I'm 100% positive of this answer
Oops, nevermind. just C and B
I agree. Luther's "Theses" were not solely responsible for more transparency in government, but helped. The invention of the printing press itself made such distribution of documents and other written works possible, in vernacular languages, accessible to wide readership.
Yes C and b are the correct answers

To determine the effects of the publication of Martin Luther's 95 Theses on European understanding of government, let's analyze each option:
A) "The Catholic Church countered Luther’s proclamation by requiring all clergy to be elected regionally."
This statement is not accurate. While the Catholic Church did respond to Luther's ideas and initiated the Counter-Reformation, which involved reforms within the Church, there is no historical evidence to suggest that they required all clergy to be elected regionally as a direct response to Luther's 95 Theses.
B) "Martin Luther’s proclamation of forming a relationship with God led to the petition of monarchs and to self-governance."
This statement is partially true. One of the key teachings of Martin Luther was the concept of "sola fide," or justification through faith alone, which emphasized a personal relationship with God. This idea had broader theological and socio-political implications, including challenging the authority of the Catholic Church and the divine right of monarchs. While it did not directly lead to self-governance, Luther's ideas certainly influenced calls for more individual and communal autonomy.
C) "Protestant churches established local governing bodies or councils."
This statement is accurate. One of the outcomes of the Protestant Reformation, which was initiated by Luther's 95 Theses, was the emergence of various Protestant denominations, each with its own governing structures. These churches often established local governing bodies or councils to oversee religious affairs and community matters.
D) "The printed success of Luther’s 95 Theses led to transparency in government because more documents were being circulated."
This statement is not directly related to the impact of Luther's 95 Theses on European understanding of government. While Luther's use of the printing press to disseminate his ideas did contribute to the spread of information and the democratization of knowledge, it did not directly lead to transparency in government.
In conclusion, the correct answers are C) Protestant churches established local governing bodies or councils and B) Martin Luther’s proclamation of forming a relationship with God led to the petition of monarchs and to self-governance.
It's not C and D, one is right and the other is wrong, one more is right, either A or B but I'm not sure.
Okay, it's not B, so its either A and C or A and D, I believe it's A and D but don't quote me on that.
