Protestant Reform Continues Practice Test

Continuing Protestant reform reshaped education and literacy. Many Protestant leaders promoted schools so believers could read Scripture, and they encouraged catechisms to standardize doctrine. In Calvinist areas, church discipline and instruction were tightly organized, while Lutheran territories often relied on princely support for church governance and schooling. Which change best reflects a long-term social effect of Protestant emphasis on Scripture and catechisms in parts of northern Europe?

Radical reformers continued to challenge both Catholic and mainstream Protestant churches. Many Anabaptists insisted on adult baptism, separation from state authority, and a gathered community of believers. Authorities often associated them with social disorder, especially after the violent episode at Münster (1534–1535), where extremists established a theocratic regime. Even peaceful Anabaptists faced persecution. Which reason best explains why Anabaptists were perceived as a threat by many 16th-century governments?
