All of the following causes have been considered causes for the protestant reformation except which of the following ?

(b) Resentment of Pope’s power
(c) A desire for monarch to centralise power
(d) A belief that bible was more important than powerful clergy

Answer 1

Hint: As dictators in the military and civilians begin to rule by intimidation. Monarchies do not depend entirely on it and may also draw validity from the historical, cultural and religious positions they perform. The Constitution directs the government to issue any individual with the authority of the High Court within its jurisdiction.

Complete answer: The structural versatility of that choice could make relations between the absolute ruler and the elites of the regime simpler. In the other hand, when the ruler may refuse to adhere to the concept of non-interference, it may hinder power-sharing, whereas the regime's elites may seek to disempower the monarch. This paper suggests that the possibility of civil disobedience leads to the settlement of commitment problems by formalizing a power-sharing game between a dictator and the elites of the regime and also discusses the reasons why certain constitutional monarchs retain and even exercise substantive political powers, considering the fact that their ability to continue presumably depends on their commitment to non- interference. Pope Leo X began the sale of indulgences in order to create the church of St. Peter's. To those who gave money to create the church, he granted pardon certificates. People were dissatisfied with him. The kings were naturally resentful of the Pope's intervention in political affairs. In order to undermine the church, they actively supported the Reformation Movement. The English priest, John Wycliffe, concentrated on the Bible as the sole guide to redemption.

Correct option is (c) - A desire for monarch to centralise power

Note: "The definition depends on the definition of constitutional monarchy as a structure of government in which a ruler is ruled by a constitution by which his/her powers, duties and responsibilities are set down in written legislation or by tradition" and of parliamentary monarchy as a state led by a monarch who is not directly engaged in political development or actual government leadership implementation.
