the enlightenment applied the idea of natural laws to human affairs rather than the physical universe.
the enlightenment was a protestant movement, while the scientific revolution was a catholic movement.
the enlightenment refers to people’s growing awareness of the scientific revolution.
the enlightenment inspired the scientific revolution.

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• Protestant convents were not a major feature. Protestantism generally downplayed monastic life.
• Women did not create their own church focused on Mary and female saints. Protestantism moved away from excessive veneration of saints compared to Catholicism.
• Protestantism emphasized individual reading of the Bible. This led to an increase in female education and literacy as women were encouraged (to some extent) to read the Bible for themselves.
• Women did not have more official church roles. Protestant churches still had male - dominated leadership structures.
• For the second question:
• The Scientific Revolution discovered natural laws in the physical universe. The Enlightenment took the concept of natural laws (rational, discoverable laws) and applied them to human affairs (such as government, ethics).
• The Enlightenment was not a Protestant - only movement, and the Scientific Revolution was not Catholic - only. Many Catholic scholars were part of the Scientific Revolution.
• The Enlightenment was more than just awareness of the Scientific Revolution. It built on its ideas.
• The Scientific Revolution inspired the Enlightenment, not the other way around.

Answer:

• First question: The emphasis on reading the Bible for oneself stimulated education and literacy for women.
• Second question: The Enlightenment applied the idea of natural laws to human affairs rather than the physical universe.
