AP European History Unit 2: The Age of Reformation

UNIT 2 KEY CONCEPTS: -Religious pluralism challenged the concept of a unified Europe. -The Protestant and Catholic Reformations fundamentally changed theology, religious institutions, culture, and attitudes toward wealth and prosperity. -Religious reform both increased state control of religious institutions and provided justifications for challenging state authority. -Conflicts among religious groups overlapped with political and economic competition within and among states. European society and the experiences of everyday life were increasingly shaped by commercial and agricultural capitalism, notwithstanding the continued existence of medieval social and economic structures. -Population shifts and growing commerce caused the expansion of cities, which often placed stress on their traditional political and social structures. -The family remained the primary social and economic institution of early modern Europe and took several forms, including the nuclear family. -Popular culture, leisure activities, and rituals reflecting the continued popularity of folk ideas reinforced and sometimes challenged communal ties and norms. -The struggle for sovereignty within and among states resulted in varying degrees of political centralization. -The new concept of the sovereign state and secular systems of law played a central role in the creation of new political institutions.
