identify laws reflections of the political and religious conflicts in seventeenth - century england?

• a law that only a protestant could be the monarch
• a law that granted equal status to protestants and catholics
• laws that reformed the church of england as puritan - oriented
• a law stating that the monarchy’s authority was challenged by parliament
• laws limiting the amount of tax that parliament could raise

Explanation:

To identify correct expressions of political/religious conflicts in 17th - century Europe:

1. Option 1: A law that only a Protestant could be the monarch. In 17th - century England (after the Reformation), religious and political power were intertwined. The Act of Settlement - related or similar laws (though the exact timing of the strict "only Protestant" for monarchs evolved, but in the context of 17th - century religious - political strife, this reflects the conflict between Protestantism and other faiths (like Catholicism) over the monarchy's religious affiliation, so this is correct.
2. Option 2: A law that granted equal status to Protestants and Catholics. In 17th - century Europe, especially places like England, there was intense religious strife (e.g., the English Civil War had religious dimensions). Equal status was not granted; instead, there was discrimination, so this is incorrect.
3. Option 3: Laws that reformed the Church of England as Puritans wanted. The Puritans sought to "purify" the Church of England from Catholic remnants. The religious and political conflict involved the Puritans' push for reform, and laws (or attempts at reform) related to this were part of the 17th - century context (e.g., during the Commonwealth under Cromwell), so this is correct.
4. Option 4: A law stating that the monarchy’s authority was challenged by Parliament. This is more of a political (constitutional) conflict between monarchy and Parliament (e.g., the English Civil War's political aspect) rather than a religious - political conflict, so this is incorrect.
5. Option 5: Laws limiting the amount of tax that Parliament could raise. The conflict over taxation was part of the political (monarchy - Parliament) conflict, not directly religious - political, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. A law that only a Protestant could be the monarch
C. laws that reformed the Church of England as Puritans wanted
