Answer 1

a

Answer 2

Students will stress the shift from a Puritan notion of predestination to a doctrine that emphasizes individual responsibility for salvation. This emphasis on individual responsibility helped create the basis for reform movements like temperance that were built upon the ideal that individuals can successfully battle sin. They should also see the growing competition between sects as leading to a need for greater separation between church and state, though they may well note that this did not stop religious activists from using the power of the state to promote their own version of Christian morality.
