Machiavelli. He was a writer during the Renaissance. He wrote about “the ends justifying the means.” He believed that a ruler, like a King, would sometimes have to do bad stuff in order for the good of the people. He believed that leaders can use any method to maintain their power.

Reformation Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses which outline his problems with the Church, mainly their sale of Indulgences. He believed the Church was too focused on the material world (real world) and not as much on the spiritual world. He believed that the Bible (scripture) is what is important, not the Church. His teachings were spread because of the Printing Press.

John Calvin He believes everything Luther says, especially that the Bible is the most important source of religious truth. He believes in Predestination, however, which Luther does not. Predestination is the idea that all of our destinies have already been decided upon by God. He believes God has already decided who is to be “saved” and go to Heaven, and who hasn’t.
