protestant churches were removed and completely forced out of europe
the catholic church became the dominant power across all of europe
kings became stronger and religious leaders lost power
democratic elections led to people voting out european monarchs
question 34
which is an example of absolutism in europe?
a monarch who converted to protestantism
a monarch with limited control over their military
a monarch that was elected by a majority of landowners
a monarch with no limits on their authority

Explanation:

• For Question 33:
• The Treaty of Westphalia (ending the Thirty Years War) weakened the Catholic Church's power. Monarchs (kings) gained more sovereignty. Protestantism was not forced out (so first option wrong). Catholic Church did not become dominant across all Europe (second option wrong). Democratic elections to remove monarchs were not a result (fourth option wrong).
• For Question 34:
• Absolutism means a monarch has absolute (unlimited) power. A monarch converting to Protestantism is a religious choice, not about absolutism. A monarch with limited military control is not absolute. An elected monarch is not absolute (as power comes from election, not inherent).

Answer:

Question 33: Kings became stronger and religious leaders lost power.
Question 34: A monarch with no limits on their authority.
