AP European History
Unit 1 – Renaissance and Exploration
Topic 1.4
How did moveable type influence political change during the Protestant Reformation?
By enabling mass production of royal decrees, it solidified monarchical control over society.
By facilitating communication between countries, it prevented international conflicts from arising due to misunderstandings or misinformation.
By reducing reliance on manual book making by scribes, it prompted a shift towards industrial occupations and an economic boom.
By rapidly disseminating reformist arguments, it empowered individuals to question Church authority, contributing to decentralization of power and growth of nation-states.
