Social: I would want to change things for the better and make them more like what I believe in.

Political: Set up a theocracy (government) that was run by church leaders. Protestants of Geneva (Switzerland) asked me to lead their community.

Economic:I believe in being thrifty which means that I am modest with money and believe that it shouldn't be spent wastefully.

CLAIM: I declare that Martin Luther is not guilty of heresy because I believe in hard work discipline , honesty etc. I  want to live like a saint. Paying to get rid of your sins isnt saint-like behavior. I  think Martin Luther went against the church because the church was getting money from people that wanted to make their sins go away because that what they were being told. I believe in being thrifty and believe that money should be used carefully and not wasteful because paying for your sins doesn't take them away. Paying for your sins just gives the church money to make cathedrals etc.

 
♕ Political: The cathedral helps increase my money and power. I need this to build a stronger and better cathedral . I used to be a powerful person and now I am  starting to become second guessed  by my  followers and going down the social scale in the church, instead of being one of the highest ranks. 

♕ Economic: The money helps me  build a better cathedral. (Each bishop had their own) I am very  angry with Martin Luther because everything  good that has come into my role of the Church had been taken away from me and the rest of the church. 

♕ CLAIM: I declare that Martin Luther is guilty because… 
Living as a bishop I have been able to have a great role in the Church. The money I have been getting has been helping me improve and make a better cathedral, with Martin Luther here and making reforms to the Church, he has been making me not gain the money and lose my  parishioners (Followers).  It has been upsetting seeing the church slowly start to fall apart because of Luther's  false interpretations of the Roman Catholic Church. Everything has been taken away from our church and we need to bring it back, you can’t let years of work be taken away from one person.

Social: Along with forming the Jesuits, I also educated them. The Jesuits called their education the “tradition of human excellence”. I made my fellow followers aware of their imagination, emotions, and conscience. We believed that each person was a unique creation of god. We wanted to find god in all things and reflect upon life.

Political: As the Roman Catholic church's authority and power were challenged and they were losing power by Martin Luther's proclamation, I came in and turned it around for them and founded the Jesuits.The Jesuits were a group of militant missionaries, we had to reconvert the converted. The society of Jesus worked for the Roman Chatholic Church and our goal was to modernize the Church and to gain its authority and religious hierarchy back.    

Economic: My followers and I incorporated economic acts for the church. We firmly wanted to sustain order within the church and spread its beliefs, so we organized numerous agricultural estates. In these estates many indigenous people or African slaves performed labor like cattle ranches and cotton plantations to preserve the Jesuits salvation and perfection.

Claim: I declare that Martin Luther is GUILTY of social, political, and economical disruption within Europe because… by creating his own beliefs and spreading them it created a rippling decline splintering The Roman Catholic Church. Luther's selfish indulgences striped the authority, power, and hierarchy of the church. I took a stand to find the very thing that brought the church back from its decline, the Jesuit’s. Our goal was to modernize the Church and to gain its authority and religious hierarchy back from the grasp of Luther.

Political: Once Martin Luther protested the Roman Catholic church started to lose it’s power. I saved the day though. My Jesuits and I reconverted the converted and helped the Roman Catholic church then regain its power once again.

Economic: The Jesuits and I wanted to maintain power and once again have its beliefs be spread. We took action by setting up several agricultural estates. In these estates many Africans had tasks such as plantations and taking care of cattle. The African slaves were an important part of the Church and the Jesuits to maintain power.

I declare Martin Luther Guilty because he has created an inconvenience within the Social, Economic and Political aspect of Europe. When Martin created his own system of beliefs he then caused the Roman church to have an incline in power.Luther was just selfish and not in favor of the people unlike the Roman Catholic church. The Jesuits and I then rose to take back the power that was rightfully ours.

Social:   Paintings and sculptures were destroyed causing riots, artwork was ways artists expressed themselves and religious beliefs. 

Political:  This caused a divide in artists and people, they divided themselves into thinking how artwork shouldn't/ should  be  in church. Some thought praying to paintings and sculptures was against the 10 commandments, while others thought it was okay because we are praying directly to say Virgin Mary because it's a sculpture. Making it Church VS government.

Economic: this isn't good economically because it destroys our artwork that we cant profit from. We can't keep up with life without some type of profit or pay. 

CLAIM: I declare that Martin Luther is guilty because… 

I believe Martin Luther is not guilty 
because Even though my work has been destroyed, I stand by the protest and Martin Luther. Martin Luther has only used his writing to state his opinions. While he should be allowed to do without persecution, and the destruction of art isn't in our control or Martin’s, followers decided to do so because they are standing at what they believe is correct. 

Social: The Emperor personally did not agree with Luther and his reformation. The emperor explained that Luther would have to retract his statements about the church or the whole empire would go against him. But after Luther died he told people not to continue fighting over what he did and to let his body rest. 

Political: The emperor had the power to try and scare and force Luther to take back what he said about the church, but he technically did not have as much power as the Pope or church actually did. But Emperor Charles also had the power to enact the edict of worms which banned people to spread Luther's ideas.

Economic: As a result of the Emperor enacting this charge the empire was most likely to come back up people and economy wise because now since people were not allowed to spread Luther's ideas most of them probably went back under the rule of the emperor and the Pope, which gave them back the money they lost.

CLAIM: I declare that Martin Luther is guilty of Heresy because he caused a disturbance in the empire and went against the Roman catholic church by nailing his 95 theses to our church door. He caused people to rebel against me and the church and was not sorry for what he did. He deserves what he gets because even though we tried to forgive him and let him back into our church he still disobeyed us.  

Economic: a lot of money was lost cause of the trials and everything that was destroyed

Claim: I say that Martin Luther is guilty, as the pope of the catholic church he is going against my beliefs and he is going against the bible. Because of him stuff got destroyed, making the people have to spend more money fixing it

Social: Now that they have a printing press out it was easier for them to print out their papers and hand them out much quicker.

Political: During reformation catholic churches started to decline and they all went to the churches Martin Luther said to go to instead of ours. 

Economic: They were demanding to have more labor because the economy was going at a rapid pace. This was bad for the dukes because the labor spread to religious sectors.

CLAIM: I declare that Martin Luther is guilty or not guilty of Heresy(highlight one) because… he was changing the way people wanted to think anjfd he was making them switch religions and changing the way of religions and religious beliefs. These people did not agree with him when he brought this idea to them, So the church said that he was guilty of heresy because he was changing things that should not have been changed by authorities and the churches declared him guilty of heresy.

Social: I moved around a lot because Catholics would take over when I was leading and I needed to go do my teachings somewhere else. Because of my travelling I married a widow in Geneva and when she died I never remarried. 

Political: I set up a Theocracy (government led by church leaders). If people didn’t follow the way of a Calvinist, they were harshly punished. 

Economic: I became a powerful leader but not respected by many people because I didn’t believe the same things as the church most people followed. 

CLAIM: I declare that Martin Luther is not guilty of Heresy because… 

Martin Luther just wanted to make the church better. He wanted to stick to what the Bible was saying and never had intentions in the first place to make a new religion until that was his only choice when he was banished from the church. By nailing the 95 theses to the door of the Wittenburg Church, he was trying to inform the church of some of the wrongs they were doing. Luther realized that if the church was telling people the only way they would have a good afterlife was if they paid for the indulgences, they were just asking for people's money. Luther realized that there is no way that what people do in their life has any connection with what they do in their afterlife and for eternity after they pass. The money was just going towards buying things for the church and didn’t actually do anything for the person specifically who gave the church money. The money was going towards art and cathedrals for all of the Bishops but nothing for the people. Luther saw that this was wrong and felt that the church was lying to people just to get their money. 

Political: It impacted him politically because the effect of the reformation politically ended in the declining of the Catholic church’s moral and their political authority.

Economic: The impact had economically been that it increased reformers into an elevated position of religion. The economy had a shift in investments and improvements in the religious section


Claim:With Martin Luther here and making Church improvements, he has caused me to lose money and parishioners (Followers). Luther's false perceptions of the Roman Catholic Church have caused the church to slowly fall apart, which has been disturbing. All has been removed from the situation.

Social:because people were trading for money and other things. Merchants were trading for money and other things that they needed merchants lived a very good life were they could buy things that they needed like food 

Political: because you were well known to the public because 

Economic: because i had a lot of money and i didn´t have to worry about things they needed. When the merchants were trading for money that they brought home for the family's and help them live a good life  

I declare that Martin Luther was not guilty Because he just wanted to believe in what he believed in he didn't like what people were saying about their religion and he wanted to change that when he told them what he believed in they thought he was a bad person so they said guilty and that's not fair

Social: 

A Classical Woman's opinion wasn't as accepted as a man´s opinion socially during this time. 

 

Political: 

The Classical Women weren't allowed to vote and classical men were.

Economic: 

Classical Women did work around the house and men worked paying jobs. Women weren’t allowed to work during this time period.

 I declare that Martin Luther guilty of suppressing church's power because he put out his beliefs.

Political: We need a better cathedral.

Economic: We have lost good things all because of Martin Luther. We need change

CLAIM: I declare that Martin Luther is guilty or not guilty of __all  the problems he had cost._____(highlight one) because… with Martin i'm not getting as much money as i used to. Him putting out his beliefs are not good for the world. He can't keep making everything worse. We need our church back and a new leader.

Social: He was the king that brought England into the idea of a Protestant Reformation. He got the idea because he wasn’t allowed to devorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon because she couldn’t produce a male heir to the throne.

Political: At first, King Henry the 8th hated the idea of rebelling against the Roman Catholic Church at first. The main reason for that was because when he was younger, he was heavily influenced into the Roman Catholic Church. For example, when the Holy Roman Empire turned on the Pope and attacked Rome, King Henry tried to send troops to help defend the Pope. But as time went on and his first wife didn’t give Henry and male heir, he wanted to get a divorce. When the Pope didn’t agree with that, King Henry made his own religion that would allow him to divorce his current wife.

Economic: I didn't really find anything about economic for king henry

I declare that Martin Luther is not guilty of the revolution because of his situations with his wife’s and the disagreement of the Pope. If King Henry did get his male heir from his first wife, Henry would declare Martin Luther, guilty, only because in his younger years he studied the church everyday. 

Social: I removed Luther's “vandalism” from our public churches and because we have failed with our counter reformation these reformations had us lose all of our religious power that I had for years 

Political: I used to command army’s , made political alliances and enemies I've even made waged war, But since this menace had spoken up My power has been ripped away from me even though God had spoken to me many times , I have the ability to heard god and they don't I'm not a normal person I'm the Pope for crying out loud 

Economic: Not only have I been slowly losing power I've also been losing money since people have stopped coming to our churches and paying for their sins to be taken away from them. Our establishments are going to fall at this point if people don't stop believing in this crazy man. People are also starting to doubt the church because of that man, he making people fall into sin at this rate 

CLAIM: I declare that Martin Luther is guilty of heresy because Of going against the church, disturbing the peace with this reformate nosince, vandalism
