Instructions: Identify the following term(s). Edict of Milan

Correct Answer

Answered by ExamLex AI

Answered by ExamLex AI

The Edict of Milan refers to a proclamation that established religious tolerance for Christianity within the Roman Empire. It was issued in 313 AD by the two Roman emperors: Constantine I, who ruled the Western part of the empire, and Licinius, who ruled the Eastern part. The edict effectively ended the persecution of Christians and granted all people the freedom to worship any deity they chose. The Edict of Milan had significant implications for the Christian Church and the Roman Empire. It not only legalized Christian worship but also ordered the restitution of property confiscated from Christians during previous persecutions. This shift in policy paved the way for Christianity to become the dominant religion of the Roman Empire and later the official state religion under Emperor Theodosius I. The edict is named after Milan, the location where Constantine and Licinius met and agreed upon its terms. It is considered a pivotal moment in the history of Christianity and religious freedom in the Western world.

Answered by ExamLex AI

Slaves are individuals who are owned by others and are forced to work without pay, under threat of violence or some other form of punishment. Slavery has existed in various forms throughout history and across different cultures. Slaves are deprived of personal freedom and the right to leave, to refuse work, or to demand compensation. Historically, slavery has been legally sanctioned and socially accepted in many societies, but it is now universally condemned and outlawed in most countries. However, modern forms of slavery, such as human trafficking and forced labor, still exist today despite being illegal.
