Why did Lutheranism appeal to the
princes?
The
princes liked the Lutheranism a lot because it made more money. Lutheranism
also had control of many lands. They shut down monasteries too. They have free
of political control. Because of all of that reasons the Lutheranism became
richer and wealthier.
Martin
Luther highlighted the charges that the corrupt church administration, subject
to be exploited. Germans thought it was
controlled by the French and the Spanish corrupt. They considered Martin Luther
threat to Catholicism. Catholic Church supports Martin Luther.
They had to pay taxes for both church and
government. The knights had no control of taxes. They interpreted the bible.
The bible tells them not to pay taxes. They were forced to pay many taxes,
which caused them to be mad at Luther.
The
Schmalkalden league arranged to unite together if any member is attacked. It
prevents any enemy from attacking and it unites people together. That rule
makes them stronger and powerful. The peace of Augsberg settled peace between
Charles V and Schmalkaden league.
At the end it allowed German principals to
select either Lutherianism or Catholicism Damos they controlled. The people had
the choice of choosing. Martin Luther changed
many things like shutting down monasteries, and having free of political
control.
In my opinion Martin Luther is a great man
and he did many things that’s great. Lutheranism is wise and fair. I think that
people was supposed to choose Lutheranism. Lutheranism believes in faith not good work which is wise and thoughtful.
55/100 - You have covered a wide range of ideas here but there is no consistency to the argument. You need to work on the structure to help arrange your argument. It is unfortunately unclear what you are saying and there are some major historical inaccuracies such as the Catholic church supporting Luther.
