Are you clear on what "secular" means? Be sure to look it up if you're not 100% sure.

Here's an example, from the Edict of Nantes:
"The edict separated civil from religious unity, treated some Protestants for the first time as more than mere schismatics and heretics, and opened a path for secularism and tolerance."
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Nantes
I know what "Edict of Nantes" mean.
The meaning of secular is "not subject to or bound by religious rule; not belonging to or living in a monastic or other order." And the Edict of Nantes paper signed was going against the Catholic church! I see now, thank you, Mrs. Writeacher!
You're very welcome!
im so confused
Writeacher, you didn't help at all
Bruuuuhhhhh

In one of the lessons it literally says not to trust Wikipedia!!

0~0 I am very disappointed in you guys
From what I understand, the Edict of Nantes treated the Protestants as more than heretics (someone with differentiating spiritual beliefs,) The Peace of Augsburg allowed rulers in the Holy Roman Empire to choose between Lutheranism and Catholicism, and the Peace of Westphalia ended all wars between religions, this includes the Thirty Years War.
none of this helps
No one cares 'im just here'
So confusing...
Why do I even read through these?

I'm not here to discriminate against anyone nor their ways but I am here to give a bit of advice.

Chances are, they'll test us at the end of the year to see if we retained our knowledge or not. Depending on that they'll let us move on to the next grade, I'd say it's best now to gain some knowledge real quick in case they do that. Really up to you all, I'll personally continue looking up the answers myself so I have little room to argue against anything here.

Best of luck to everyone,

@Writeather the teachers even say dont use wika so thats a sign your no real teacher so please stop giving fake answers because some kids FAIL from those like some of my friends who also use this because they need someone to check their answers but they come across wika from you and then get it wrong over and over sadly. Im not trying to spread hate/anger, but all im trying to ask, that you stop using wika when teachers say dont use it.
Thank you for your time.

The Peace of Augsburg, the Edict of Nantes, and the Peace of Westphalia all strengthened secular rulers by establishing the state's power over the church in their respective countries. The Peace of Augsburg in 1555 and Edict of Nantes in 1598 allowed princes within the Holy Roman Empire and French monarchs to choose the faith of their lands, effectively weakening the power of the Catholic Church and giving secular rulers more control over their territories. Similarly, the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 weakened the Holy Roman Emperor and increased the power of the individual German states.
