The Reformation initiated significant political changes, notably the decline of the Catholic Church's absolute power and the rise of state sovereignty. It encouraged the emergence of nation-states, as rulers asserted control over religious matters within their territories. This shift laid the groundwork for modern concepts of religious freedom and pluralism, influencing contemporary democratic ideals and the separation of church and state. Furthermore, the Reformation's emphasis on individual interpretation of scripture has contributed to the broader notion of personal rights and liberties in democratic societies today.
